For the Google interview, I completed Round 1 and Round 2. Round 1 included one easy-to-medium LeetCode question and a Googliness interview, while Round 2 consisted of two easy-to-medium LeetCode questions. Overall, the process was pretty standard, and the mock interview before Round 2 was helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you experienced a conflict on a team and how you resolved it.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Was ask an inverted index array question of jumping game. Interviewer was straight forward, hardly gives any hint (still passed tho). Interview process was smooth and HR respond very fast
I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2025
Interview
First interview was a technical question with one of the engineers. The question was how to implement the "cd" command in Python to navigate between directories.
Second interview was also with an engineer. This one was a behavioral interview, basically asking how you work with others.
Overall I didn't have a good experience because the interviewers were kind of rude and I was really nervous which didn't help
