I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2018
Interview
1 phone interview and did not get accepted. Standard sets of questions - mostly behavioral. Did not move to the next step. Studied lots of leetcode-type questions but didn't get to the next level.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2021
Interview
2 rounds of tech interview, very kind interviewer, a lot of hints. During the second round, the Internet breaks, but the interviewer was still kind enough and I did not need to redo.
Applied through a referral, about a week later they got back to me. Did a screening interview and set up a technical interview, but did not go through with the technical portion bc I was offered a different job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions in the screening portion like "why do you want to work here", "tell us about a project you have worked on" and "where do you see yourself in five years?"
