I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Riyad) in Nov 2018
Interview
The pre-interview was on Hangouts. The recruiter asked me about my resume, my qualifications, my job experience, my GPA etc.. She wanted to get to know me more, to see whether I also had the personality profile needed. She asked ma about hackathons that I attended, and courses that I had taken. It wasn't a technical interview.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Jun 2026
Interview
Resume screening and then two 2 rounds of technical interviews, on an elimination basis. Interview done on google docs with no IDE, dsa leetcode style question. May be asked follow up questions on how to optimise your solution or on how you would code up a solution to a similar problem.
