Process

I applied online.

The interview process for a Software Engineer role at Google was challenging but well-structured. It started with a recruiter call, followed by technical interviews focused on coding, data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I also had behavioral interviews that covered teamwork, communication, and past projects. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process, and the experience provided a good understanding of Google’s engineering culture and expectations.
