I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
Recruiter reached out after i had applied to the STEP program a year ago, and invited me to apply to the SWE internship for next summer. Extremely nice and kind people, they give you all the info you need and always get back to you. A TON of opportunities to get involved with the company
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Reddit users are pretty on point. The questions I got this year were basically the same topics that reddit users suggested I look over for the first round interview. One of them was string manipulation! So not incredibly hard since it was the first round but not a lot of time for 3 relatively intermediate questions
Home exam, 2 questions in 90 mins
Then they did 2 interviews-45 mins each
It was on google meet
The interviews are in English, the first question was matrix dfs and the second one was hashmap with random function
There were multiple stages to the process, but the main one of which was technical interviews through digital meetings (Zoom) consisted of 2 meetings, in which you have to solve 1 leet-code style question, levels medium-hard.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Tel Aviv)
Interview
My application process started in November with two LeetCode-style home assignments. In December, I sat for two technical interviews on Google Meet. Although they were meant to be back-to-back, one was rescheduled after the interviewer didn't show up. I successfully navigated a medium question with a follow-up and a hard DFS/graph problem.
Two weeks later, in January, I moved into the host-matching phase. After one team match interview in February, I wasn't selected, and by April, I received a final update that the process was closing because no further team matches were found.
