The interview was way more challenging than I anticipated, especially the technical rounds. I was thrown off by the depth of the DSA questions. One standout was a coding question about finding the median of two sorted arrays, which I recognized instantly — it was the same problem I had worked through on PracHub. The behavioral questions felt less intense, but the overall vibe was stressful. Ultimately, I didn’t receive an offer. It was a tough experience, but I'm grateful for what I learned along the way.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en févr. 2011
Entretien
I applied online and then got in touch with employees though LinkedIn. The recruiting team is very helpful and lets you know when they would be making decision about their applications. If you're selected, they ask you fill out a company questionnaire and ask you a list of times you would be available for an interview. Then, they set up a time for the interview

Question 1
It felt like a stress interview. The interviewer sounded pissed from the start and seemed like he was in no mood for the interview. He called me up and the first thing he said was "I have a coding question for you!". Then, he asked me to write a code for traversing a binary tree. As soon as I had given him the solution. He says that it will be all and slams the phone down. It was one of the weirdest interviews ever. I was surprised on how they were judging, because I did get the code right!!
The interviewer was very nice, one interviewer didn't show up so I rescheduled it. When I didn't come up with the best solution, the interveiwer was very patient and give me hint as many as possible
1 screening round + 3 onsite round
All rounds were focused on DSA that included topics like strings, linked list, heap and dynamic programming. Screening round had 2 questions on qualifying which I was eligible for onsite and Googliness rounds. The whole process took nearlying 2.5 months
