I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Gurgaon, Uttar Pradesh) in Dec 2021
Interview
Total 3.5 Rounds
1. Telephonic, Basic, few SQL questions
2. SQL coding rounds advanced
1 hour long round, With Big Data and SQL centric questions
3. Long coding
Arrays, Lists, Graphs
4. Hiring Manager/Googleyness
Difficult questions on data engineering like Hadoop and SQL. Could use more prep on my side, understanding different technologies that are similar but different. More technical than behaviour based which was quite unexpected. Overall great experience and I will try to apply again to a similar role if they have new vacancies.
