I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Taipei) in Jun 2023
Interview
I applied online via google careers.
then the recruiter make a call to know my background, Then I request a MOOC coding interview, it was a little bit hard (the questions was mainly about graphs). then after 1 month I took the first round in technical interview (in google docs), but I didn't solve it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some leetcode questions hard and medium.
you have to brushup trees, graphs and all data structures
Invited directly to on-site in Mountain View due to strong referral.
Interviews were extremely hard questions, over my experience and knowledge. Interviewers seemed quite boring individuals to work with. Questions can range from system design to sorting algorithms.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Taipei) in Mar 2025
Interview
Very standard Google interview. First round recruiter to outline and chat, 3 rounds of technicals, then a final hiring committee round.
Unfortunately I didn't make it past the last round, and be wary there is a 1-year cooldown period before you can attempt again.
The technical rounds themselves weren't particularly hard if you are competent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some embedded-related coding questions, which also had to factor in some hardware limitations.
I applied through website. They gave a phone screen then a coding test
And I have to discuss the problem and my solution orally
The problems look like leet code
So you have to brush up data structures and Algorithms
