I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in May 2021
Interview
Two 45min sessions with two interviewers. They were both friendly and trying to help me out. The code was typed by both interviewers and me on an interview platform with a phone call aside. They tended to ask questions about data structure and algorithm plus time/space complexity. Also they would ask stuff like "how would u write the test cases of this function"?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. A simple string manipulation
2. Harder string manipulation, have to think of a good data structure for both time and space complexity
3. Lower level stuff: storing data to somewhere specified by a pointer
Clear, structured, and professional conversation. The questions were relevant and thoughtfully asked, the discussion flowed naturally, and I felt heard and respected throughout. Overall, it was a positive and well-organized interview experience.

The usual behavioral & case by case questions that asked in many interviews
it has a couple of different calls starting with an hr call and then you go into another call which is this time technical and asks you classic software engineer questions and cs fundamentals
Good easy interview process. it was smooth and recruiters communicated well throughout. would recommend. the process overall was really great, and i liked it alot. Google seems like a great place to work and I am excited for the opportunity.
