The interview was tough. It was consisting of data structures and algorithms. Google or companies like google mainly focus on problem solving skills. If you can solve problems then you are in.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
From Referral:
- Behavior/Googliness Assessment
-Coding Challenge (2 medium level problems)
-Virtual Interviews (1 Personality, 4 technical problem solving)
Overall exactly what I expected and I could've done a better job preparing. A lot of the interviews depend on the person who is conducting it.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2021
Interview
First, it was an HR interview. I got invited by applying in their website. After HR interview, they will ask you for a schedule for screening. You have to brush up your data structures and algo skills. You can reschedule for another month if you want to.
the next screening interview is with a software engineer solving an algo problem.
