I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bukarest, ) in Apr 2025
Interview
Initial phone call with details about the role and the recruiting process, followed by a live coding exercise in a shared document. Coding question was very difficult to understand as the interviewer had problems with explaining what the code should do and kept moving goalposts. 20 minutes of the allotted time wasted just on clarifying what's needed. No proper feedback received, just glazing with "keep improving".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be available to go through 2 interview phases, multiple technical interviews and multiple group interviews to find a suitable team?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Round 1 has two 45 min sections, one technical and one behavioral. Technical interview asked a medium level question. Behavioral interview asked me about 3 - 4 questions. Some asked about my past experiences. Some give me a scenario and asked me how to react or act. Interviewers were very nice and nothing surprising.
A single phone screen, it was followed by a recruiter call telling me I did not pass. The phone screen was LC style, probably a LC medium. The recruiter was very nice to me.
