I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2024
Interview
back 2 back, 2 rounds of 1hr interview with 10mins break between with different interviewers. Problems are modified from leetcode, both are medium level. Need to describe your solution first and then write the code, dry run and then analysis complexity. Should be providing optimized solution after hinted by the interview.
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.
