I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in Mar 2016
Interview
I had applied for the STEP intern at Google India. Since the program is for first or second year undergraduate students, the level is quite easy. The first round is shortlisting the candidates based on resume. The second round was a telephonic interview. They select very few (one or two students max.) if many apply from the same institute/ college.

The questions were from sorting, data structures, graphs, strings, hashing and C++(STL)/Java (if mentioned in the resume).
I was asked network questions and linux questions. Basics CLI commands and more elaborated ones here I was asked to explain the processus of thoughts. Asked also about school experiences

I didn’t get an interview because my resume must not be a fit. I also don’t grind leetcode so idk. I hope in the future I will be a SWE FANG hype beast
The interview process involves long, complex processes and extensive candidate analysis, with plentiful of interviews, screening rounds, and evaluations. Although it was very organization and able to know the status, the entire process was quite extensive, looking for the right person.
