I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Anaheim, CA)
Interview
Took a "foo-bar" test, which coding test through the chrome browser and got an email from a recruiter to arrange the schedule of a phone interview. I could pick several available time and date then they finalize the schedule. I had phone interviews, which a two-hour coding interview by two different interviewers. Each interviewer gave me different problem and they have different style. For example, one interviewer allowed me to any of materials to solve the problem but the other didn't.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A question on the data structure in programming such as HashMap. They gave me a coding problem and asked the computational complexity of the solution.
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.
