I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
It's very hard and very competitive. I will say that it gets scarier because you are competing with IV league students who might know more than you. I will say that the staff is also very nice so it's was a good experience for the interview process.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
Very straight forward process though I only went through with two interviews. Phone screening with talent director followed by team leads. Withdrew from process due to the role being on-site 5 days a week.
Very difficult interview loop. Lots of trick questions and brainteaser problems. Even with studying a ton in the leadup I still struggled and ultimately did not receive an offer. Interview process is still similar to what any guide online describes.
