I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2022
Interview
The recruiter mentioned that she would target me for L4 but if I pass, they would add a system design round and consider me for L5. I was not selected after the first phone interview. It was a sorting question. Not very tough but very time consuming. I had the logic right, but could not code it up in time. I think that was the reason of my rejection.
