I applied online. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
It is difficult to obtain algorithm examples through communication.
The interviewer prefers to describe only through words. not typing, usually like white board. Therefore, understanding the question is extremely difficult.
The interview process consisted of an initial online assessment with coding problems, followed by a phone screen with a recruiter. After that, there were several technical rounds covering data structures, algorithms, and system design, along with a behavioral interview with the hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Bad interview experience. interviewer was confused.
Recruiter Call -> Behavorial Interview/Technical Screen (virtual) -> Onsite (in person)
There may be options to interchange the Coding based technical Screen with a Specialty Round depending on the role. If you pass this round, you are given the opportunity to appear for the onsite.
