I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Zurich) in Mar 2021
Interview
The Google interview was challenging but energizing. The questions pushed me to think clearly under pressure, and the interviewers were thoughtful, focused, and genuinely interested in problem-solving. Overall, a demanding yet inspiring experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a scalable system that can handle millions of real-time queries while maintaining low latency and high reliability?
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
