I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in May 2024
Interview
Applied back in April, got a call and interview scheduled. It took two pre-screening technical interviews before getting a call to move to the next phase. This one included round of 3 technical interviews and 1 leadership interview. Process was very positive for me, I got quick updates after reaching out in any of the cases. They provided help for neurodivergent needs and got a feedback of my interviews and performce. I rejected further process since I found a position already.
