I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Applied online in a role I'm interested in (not necessarily aligning with my experience). Went through the interview. The Algorithmic question got a math/logic twist to it, couldn't get it without help and didnt pass.
Really liked the recruiter - very nice and communicative throughout the whole process. Even provided feedbacks, unlike any other recruiters I've faced.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
algorithm + logic twist, need to think about if there's ways to optimize it (not by swapping out data structure or algorithem but think outside the box)
It was great, DSA rounds focused heavily! Overall 4-6 rounds expected and last round for projects, It was hasd DSA round, focused on graphs dp and advanced topics. Focus on DSA and DSA and DSA
The process includes referral, followed by an online assessment, then a first round with two interviews (Googliness & Leadership and coding), and a second round consisting of two technical coding interviews.
I was asked leetcode riddles. First call recruiter. Hence 2 technical interviews. Finally I got to solve the problems. Got feedback. Make sure to look at how the code reads
