I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mumbai)
Interview
I had applied for the role in March 2021. Received call from HR in June 2021 and a virtual Google Meet Interview was setup.
It was a 45 minutes discussion where Interviewer asked me 2-3 questions on each and every technology mentioned in the job description. As there was time constraint and Interviewer had to cover all the questions, it felt more like a rapid fire. I felt that Interviewer was only looking for the "perfect" answer from me each time but at the same time there were no hints/suggestion/help offered from him whatsoever.
Though I was able to answer more than half of the questions correctly, still I was rejected. One thing which I liked was HR called me on same day of Interview to let me know that "I was not the right fit for the job".
Overall experience was satisfactory. It would have been better if the interview is interactive (not only questions and answers). Would like to give it a try again in Future. Thank you.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
