Interview process was very smooth. The HR team was very kind and helpful throughout the process. They genuinely care about everyone. Warm and friendly people. They conducted sessions before the interview to prepare us on the syllabus and type of questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Hyderābād) in Jul 2021
Interview
Positive and friendly, we struck a conversation. The interviewer asked more questions to lead to different thinking paths which definitely helped me answer the questions. At one point though I said the wrong answer and he did follow up, I didn't double down I just expressed my doubts. I think that's why I lost the interview. I did get a compliment for one of the behavior questions and I did solve 1 technical question, so 50% of the interview I think I did well but the other 50% I think I didn't reach expectations.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2021
Interview
The interviewers were very nice so it was easy to feel comfortable, however it is necessary to know the skills part as that was very Intense. It lasted for 45 mins, a one on one session
