2nd stage was a matching and linkage case study, was very clear that the interviewers had no clue about big data or how to apply it. In fact, they weren't even clued up on NLP approaches or simple string matching. 3rd stage was a slither game whiteboard - was like talking to 4 noobs that had just come out of uni

This one is funny as one guy in the comments below is complaining he was asked random google cloud questions. The founder told me the company is primarily a Google Cloud partner and work heavily in GCP so if you say you have worked in cloud tech on your resume be prepared to back it up is my advise. Beyond that the questions tend to follow your experience i.e if you have a lot of experience in servers or databases they will ask you a lot of detailed questions on this as they will start easy and get progressively harder with their questions to test your level of depth. For me I am from a databases background so they went heavy and very technical into questions on db's and asked me to explain when and where I would use them. I mentioned I had used AWS aswell before and was a little surprised seeing as they are a GCP shop they were able and willing to very technically ask me about AWS and my opinions on their products. Hope this helps any future applicants :)
