I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
two 45 minute sessions. Brief intro then straight to leetcode. Wrap up is the last 5 minutes. Overall similar to leetcode tagged but still distinct. Would spam follow up questions if you solved the initial problem quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some question about removing from an array and another question about bitmasks
It was decent. had 3 rounds of interview. 2 technical one behavioural. Also a phone screening. The interviews were more difficult as you kept going. All happened online and I was allowed to use any language that i wanted
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
