I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Waterloo, ON) in July 2022
Interview
Submit resume -> HR call -> 4 rounds interview The first interview is behavioural question, which is mainly about the previous experience and how you handle some scenario. The remaining three problems are coding interview, due to the signed NDA, I can't share the exact content. I passed the interview, but stuck in the team matching pipeline since last July.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is a dynamic programming problem, which I solved using top down dynamic programming + memoization. The second question is a standard binary search problem. The third question is a graph problem, but the interviewer came up this question himself, so he didn't know the right answer and we are basically discussing how to solve the problem. I tried topology sorting and he seems to like the idea. Overall I will say it's a fair interview.
I was contacted by a recruiter and later scheduled for two interview rounds: a technical screen to assess my skills, followed by a leadership round to evaluate my collaboration and problem-solving approach.

Question 1
Typical scenario based questions for behavioural round
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Feb 2026
Interview
Schnelle Absage über die Statusmeldung im Portal. Ohne Referenz von internen Mitarbeitern ist es schwierig, in die Interviewphase zu gelangen. Anschließend ist man für 90 Tage im Bewerbungsverfahren blockiert, was eine erneute Bewerbung ebenfalls erschwert. Das ist nicht ganz fair, wenn die Gründe für die Absage sehr unterschiedlich sein können, wie etwa wenn zu viele Bewerber bereits im Prozess sind.
An external recruiter from randsad contacted me through LinkedIn. first interview is scheduled after 3 weeks. its about a coding question where i failed in writing complete code in 30 min.
