I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2025
Interview
I had two interviews both leetcode style. Usually google asks graph or tree questions, but I was given a array with Kadane's algorithm and a string parsing question. The interviewers were very nice and it felt more like a collaboration than an interview. I wasn't able to code up the optimal solution, but was able to conceptually talk about it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers find the maximum sum of the integers between two indices where the indices have the same value.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Jun 2026
Interview
Resume screening and then two 2 rounds of technical interviews, on an elimination basis. Interview done on google docs with no IDE, dsa leetcode style question. May be asked follow up questions on how to optimise your solution or on how you would code up a solution to a similar problem.
