I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2024
Interview
very good, they were friendly and provide help if required. the questions start generic and then move onto more specific job questions / scenarios. in mine this mainly was engineering questions on problems id faced in the past and how i moved through them.

Question 1
name a time you had a problem and moved through it
Five rounds of interviews from which first two rounds are based on coding and that too based on DSA. Must practice string related questions from leetcode or any other websites
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Google (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
The interview process was structured and professional, with clear communication at each stage. The assignment was relevant and fairly scoped, and feedback/updates were timely. However, the evaluation timeline after submission felt somewhat unclear, and more transparency on expected review duration would improve the candidate experience

Question 1
One question that stood out during the interview was about how I would design a system to handle concurrent requests safely while maintaining performance under high load. They were particularly interested in how I would approach thread safety, resource sharing, and avoiding race conditions in a real-world backend service.
Good, in depth technical questions and detailed analysis. Attention to detail to the problems given. technical knowledge needed spans several technologies and use cases. Ample time was given and felt very comfortable.
