1. Online Assessment Focus on DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms): arrays, strings, trees, DP, graphs. Time limit ~90 mins.

2. Phone / Virtual Technical Interviews (1–2 rounds) 45 minutes each. Conducted on Google Meet with CoderPad or Google Docs for coding. You’ll solve 1–2 medium/hard LeetCode-style problems. Interviewers check:

• Problem-solving approach
• Code correctness + edge cases
• Time and space complexity analysis
• Communication and thought process

1. Onsite / Virtual Onsite (4–5 rounds) Usually split into:

a) DSA & Problem Solving Rounds (2–3 rounds) Each 45 minutes. Advanced problems on graphs, DP, trees, tries, greedy, backtracking. Heavy emphasis on clean, optimized solutions and explaining trade-offs.

b) System Design Round For L4+ or experienced roles (not usually for fresh grads). Covers:

• High-level system design (design YouTube comments system, URL shortener, etc.)
• Scalability, APIs, storage choices, caching, load balancing. Expect follow-ups: “How will your system handle 10M requests/sec?”

c) Behavioral / Googleyness Round Evaluates culture fit, teamwork, leadership. They test “Googleyness”:

• Humility, teamwork, curiosity
• Handling ambiguity
• Bias for action Uses STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for answering.

1. Hiring Committee + Offer After rounds, interviewers submit feedback.
