I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2017
Interview
I was contacted through the Foobar challenge. I took two remote technical interviews. They call you with Hangouts and you code in Google docs. The interviewers asked me to develop an algorithm to solve a simple programming problem. They can also ask you to discuss the computational complexity of your solutions or questions about theory.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How is memory handled in Python? How does a garbage collector work?
HR round after applying, then coding screening round, if passes, then final round which consists of four coding round or three coding and one design round. Problem difficulty medium to hard.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Mar 2026
Interview
Frist had one roughly 20 to 30 minutes screening call with a recruiter, then had one online 45 minutes technical interview with a Google Site Reliability Engineer. The technical interview covered data structure and algorithm topics.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview lasted 45 minutes and was conducted one-on-one. I was required to walk through my thought process before coding and then implement an optimized solution with a focus on time complexity.
