I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Application submitted through direct consideration. OA taken in the next two weeks. Two back to back technical interviews. First 5 mins intro, 30 mins of technical w/ follow ups, 10 mins for discussion/asking questions.
Standard interview process: coding challenge, the code question, system design. Interviewers were pretty standard. I enjoyed the process. Nothing too crazy or stood out. Not too different from your typical big tech interviews at Meta or Amazon
