I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2021
Interview
2 rounds of tech interview, very kind interviewer, a lot of hints. During the second round, the Internet breaks, but the interviewer was still kind enough and I did not need to redo.
Applied through a referral, about a week later they got back to me. Did a screening interview and set up a technical interview, but did not go through with the technical portion bc I was offered a different job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions in the screening portion like "why do you want to work here", "tell us about a project you have worked on" and "where do you see yourself in five years?"
1) automated coding assessment 2) two 45 minutes phone technical interviews (similar to Leetcode question) 3) host matching process and PA alignment where you are invited to interview directly with different hosts to determine the best fit
