I applied online. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2021
Interview
After an initial coding exercise, I was interviewed by two different engineers over a Google Meet call. The coding exercise is not hard, just to screen candidates that are going to be interviewed later. Each call lasted 45 minutes (about 5 min to introduce to each other and maybe ask some questions about the company/the interviewer's role) and then 40 for the actual problem. I has a 15 min break between both calls.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two different technical questions (Leet Code type)
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
It was online and fairly standart. You will be sent a Google Meet link after scheduling with your interviewer. You will be asked one or two coding questions for STEP and SWE Intern positions. If you pass the technical rounds, you will be advanced to the team matching phase. As a tip, team matching is unfortunately not a guarantee and you should definitely continue looking for other opportunities as long as you don't have an offer in your hand.
