I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sunnyvale, CA) in June 2023
Interview
One round phone screening and four rounds of on-site coding assessments. The questions cover RTL, micro-architecture, coding and debugging and general knowledge check about computer architectures. The whole process is smooth. The interviewers are nice and willing to interact with your questions and trials.

Question 1
RTL coding, FSM, questions about computer architectures.
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.
