I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2021
Interview
Applied on the portal and the recruiter called back after 1 month. Explained the whole process, it consists of 1+5 interviews with every interview focusing on a different aspects of data science
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard error of median, interpret standard error of the mean, how to generate a matrix that follows Bernoulli distribution in python, divide each element of the matrix with sum of columns
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.
