I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Singapore) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process started with a quick phone chat with a recruiter about my background and why I was interested in Google. After that, I had a technical interview where they asked a mix of system design and troubleshooting questions. mostly focused on Linux, networking, and automation. Then there were a couple of panel interviews with engineers who wanted to see how I think through problems and work with others. The last step was a call with the hiring manager, which was more about culture fit and what kind of projects I’d enjoy. Overall, it was pretty organized but also challenging. they expect you to explain your thought process clearly.
