I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2024
Interview
Very professional, consisted of 4 rounds as Screening, Role Knowledge, Cognitive Ability & Googlyness.
The process took 2.5 weeks; which very clear interview schedule, next steps & resources.
My advice would be to prep behaviour questions using STAR & CFAM method but to aslo understand what is google measuring you on, i.e 'How you approach a problem'
Got reached out to by a recruiter.
Passed the screening call last week.
rd1 interview is coming up this week (11 days after).
Apparently only 2 rds of interviews this process. Though the 2nd interview consists of 2 45min interviews in one.
1: screening call
2: assessments
3: Role play interview w behavioral questions
4: roles related knowledge and Googleyness interview
Waiting on the final decision now. Process took about two months
recruiter reached out. had a simple straightforward conversation about my experience and the role. asking preliminary questions about my experience and the role itself. Not completed the process. Still in it, went through the first assessment and waiting now on the second
