I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview was split into two 45 minute sections, one for technical review and one for non-technical. The tactical interview involved a single question, similar to what you might find on Leetcode but recontextualized from a Google perspective, with further iteration in this context. The non-technical interview involves some basic background questions, as well as a number of questions about how you have handled certain situations in the past or would handle situations you might encounter at Google. The interview didn't feel particularly difficult, and I prepared a decent amount with a short time I had available, but in the moment I often got blinded by trying to come up with an answer immediately rather than come up with the correct answer, which led me to falter in a few places and appear suboptimal.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deal with a negative workplace environment as a low-level employee without the power to direct change? What if you were a senior level employee?
Two rounds of interviews. This initial stage, which we call Round 1, will consist of two 45-minute interviews broken out as follows:
One Programming, Data Structures, and Algorithms interview
One non-technical behavioral interview

Question 1
Did you ever have conflict with a teammate? How did you resolve it?
It was a single day of four interviews with an hr break. All the interviewers were nice, but I guess I messed up two of the three technicals, even when I was accommodated 15 more mins each.
