I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
I received an email late in February inviting me to participate in two phone interviews to gauge fit and aptitude for the position. I completed the two interviews and received my offer by phone two weeks later. Note: I was studying abroad at the time.
The recruiters usually got back to me pretty quickly and answered my questions well. The interviews themselves were very casual. One interviewer seemed more interested in the social/fit aspect, the other asked more situational questions. My position is pretty far-removed from the product development and engineering side of Google, so nothing was asked about the company, the business model, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked how I would handle if a wild animal broke into the company office and attacked people.
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.
