I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Had a total of three interviews 2 nearly identical phone interviews and then an on site interview in new york. All were very behavioral and fit based. They ask a lot about your past experiences and how they can relate to the company. It sounds stupid but really know your resume forward and backwards and be able to walk someone through it
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They'll throw a couple of brain teasers just to see how you think on your feet, Like how many golf balls fit on a schoolbus or how much Google spends on fixing desk chairs in a year. These questions don't have a right answer, they just want to see you try to apply a logical approach to something super wacky and out there.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
was a smooth but technical process, a lot of emphasis on soft skills and creative thinking, assuming this was to observe how we fit in with the company with regards to our ability to connect dots
Multiple interview rounds initial rounds dont ask for anything besdies leetcode and are extremely scrutinized no room to be humble ruins chances ideally 300+ leetcode solved the interview questions themselves are easy enough
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jul 2025
