The Google interview process typically starts with a recruiter screening call, where they assess your background and motivations.

If you move forward, you'll face a technical interview with coding problems (focused on algorithms and data structures), followed by a system design round, especially for senior roles, where you’ll be asked to design scalable systems.

There’s also a behavioral round where they focus on your teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership skills, often using the STAR method to structure your answers.

Finally, if you pass, you’ll meet with the hiring manager for a more in-depth discussion on your fit for the role.

The process is thorough, and while it can be intense, it’s designed to find both technical and cultural alignment.
