Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

December 22, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I interviewed for a role at Google and didn’t get an offer. The process was structured and moved quickly: a recruiter screen, then technical and role-based interviews with clear rubrics. Communication was professional, though feedback was limited. I left with a better sense of the bar and what to improve for next time.

Questions

One question that stood out was a deep dive into a project I’d shipped. They asked me to explain trade-offs, failure modes, and how I measured impact, and then pushed on edge cases and what I’d change with more time. It tested clarity, prioritization, and technical judgment.
