I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2023
Interview
The programming interviews went great and I solved all the questions. They had a systems engineering round at the end which the interviewer showed up late, didnt turn on her camera, and asked me questions for only 12 minutes of the scheduled 1 hour! She totally wasted my interview as based on the feedback she was the only one that rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
3 programming questions which were average difficulty and one system design question
The interview was extremely hard since I was not prepared completely. If you work hard and prepare consistently then it is easier to crack the interview. Having said that smart work is always better than hard work.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google (Hyderābād) in Oct 2025
