I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2022
Interview
Round 1: HR call (gathered my details of experience and asked some behavioral questions like - Where do you see yourself in 5 years?)
Round 2: Leetcode type question- Graph DFS. (I gave a solution which was not optimized. I took the whole interview time to solve it. It was not that hard but that time I was not able to solve it)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Raleigh, NC) in Jul 2022
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn, and I was asked to provide a 30 window of when I would like to conduct a phone screen.
I passed the phone screen, but unfortunately, my recruiter could not move forward with me since Google was stopping hiring for that specific role. My recruiter said my resume would be kept on file for up to a year.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2022
Interview
Applied in February. Online coding test was generally good, but their testing was broken and rejected correct outputs. Waited three months to finally hear back for next stage, which is perfectly understandable for a small independent company that can't afford to put more money into hiring. Actual interviews were fine, my recruiter was polite and pleasant. Informed at the end of the process that Google was freezing hiring and the role was no longer available.
