I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Interview via google call using google doc as a white board. The interview questions are not difficult. I think they really test how you communicate and how you present the idea in a clear and simple way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the standard error of the mean? Does education level effect salary? Question about interaction effect. Plot histogram chart and generate a normal distribution.
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
Back to back interview.
