I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Had 3 coding interviews. Each were with a different person and it went from good cop to bad cop to worse cop. I can't tell if they were briefed to be increasingly difficult and more cold but the interviews felt more intense as it went on.

Question 1
Using route finding algorithms to find the quickest route between two servers.
As expected from a Google interview, it consists of a phone interview and a technical interview. In my opinion, with the skill level Google is looking for, the interview is fair and accurately tests the ability of a candidate. I imagine the interview for full-time positions is harder, but as an intern, I felt that it was the right amount of difficulty and complexity.
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
