Process
There were four rounds of interviews, and each round included two DSA questions. Of these four rounds, two included one Googleyness question each.
The interviewers were very supportive and provided relevant hints wherever I was stuck.
The whole experience felt more like a discussion rather than an interview.

An authoritarian, Asian-style management
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
September 22, 2022
Pros: 1. Relatively good salary and company-wide benefits. Although not exceptional anymore.
2. Good job stability so far.
3. Good work/life balance.
Cons: 1. Authoritarian low-level management.
Management in Google is an Asian, Chinese-style. Your leads, not even managers, have complete power over you but no accountability. You are not working with them; you can only obey them.
2. No respect to engineering work.
When I told my new manager that I prefer more engineering-type work, she promptly suggested I should leave the company. They need facilitators.
3. No diversity.
Google is dominated by Chinese now. Our team of 13 hired 5 people, all Chinese. Now we have only 3 non-Chinese members out of 18 people. Probably, issue #1 stems from there.
