It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2022
Interview
Got a call with a recruiter after about 2 months of submission through the Google's website. Recruiter advanced me to the final round right away. After the interviews, waited 1.5 months for a hiring committee decision.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
