I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2015
Interview
Got a phone call from the hiring manager. Asked a number of systems related questions but strangely none pertaining directly to my resume. Felt like he was looking for experienced candidates.

Question 1
What design considerations would you have for designing a switch mode power supply?
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team, had 2 rounds in one day, 30 min apart. Each took 60 min to complete. Didn't tell me the result for 2 months and no feedbacks were provided.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Google (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in July 2025
Interview
2 technical rounds after an OA. Tested digital design fundamentals and focused also on my past projects. They really emphasize on basics. They ask for a preferred programming language beforehand (I chose Verilog) and then they would ask you to code up some circuit in verilog in a google doc.
