I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2018
Interview
Applied online. Got an email to schedule an interview call in a couple of days. Two 45 minute interview calls back-to-back. The first interviewer was friendly and helpful. Like other people here have said, it was more like a discussion. The second interviewer was rather curt and rude. He had a strong accent and explained the problem really badly to begin with. It took me a good 7-8 minutes to understand the problem statement, which could've been easily explained in 2 sentences (or better still, typed out). From then on, he was absolutely silent the whole way and would give one-word answers to my queries. Contrasting experiences with the two interviewers really.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String manipulation questions. I'd say equivalent to Leetcode 'medium' level difficulty.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Jun 2026
Interview
Resume screening and then two 2 rounds of technical interviews, on an elimination basis. Interview done on google docs with no IDE, dsa leetcode style question. May be asked follow up questions on how to optimise your solution or on how you would code up a solution to a similar problem.
