I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied in early September and got online coding challenge in mid September(very easy). Then I entered the phone interviews(mid difficulty). Passed phone interviews and entered project matching phase in mid October. Host matching the worst part of the interview process, because you never know when or will you get a host matching interview. For almost 4 months I didn't get any host matching interview. But luckily my recruiter was able to find a team that willing to give me a shot. Then I had a great a conversation with my manager, he was really nice and explained to me the project and the team.
Host matching interview was really laid back and not technical. Basically asking if you have some experience and see if you care interested in the project and team.
Home exam, 2 questions in 90 mins
Then they did 2 interviews-45 mins each
It was on google meet
The interviews are in English, the first question was matrix dfs and the second one was hashmap with random function
There were multiple stages to the process, but the main one of which was technical interviews through digital meetings (Zoom) consisted of 2 meetings, in which you have to solve 1 leet-code style question, levels medium-hard.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
My application process started in November with two LeetCode-style home assignments. In December, I sat for two technical interviews on Google Meet. Although they were meant to be back-to-back, one was rescheduled after the interviewer didn't show up. I successfully navigated a medium question with a follow-up and a hard DFS/graph problem.
Two weeks later, in January, I moved into the host-matching phase. After one team match interview in February, I wasn't selected, and by April, I received a final update that the process was closing because no further team matches were found.
