Google's interview process begins with a recruiter screening, where your resume is reviewed to assess alignment with the role.
If selected, you may take an online assessment (mainly for new grads and interns) before proceeding to a technical phone screen. During this screen, you'll solve coding problems focused on data structures and algorithms.
Successful candidates are then invited to onsite interviews. These include multiple rounds of coding challenges, a system design interview (for experienced roles), and a behavioral interview assessing leadership and problem-solving skills.
Following the interviews, a hiring committee reviews feedback to determine your suitability. If approved, you enter the team-matching phase, where Google finds a team that aligns with your expertise and interests.
Once matched, you receive an offer that includes salary, stock options, and bonuses, with room for negotiation. After signing, a background check is conducted before onboarding.
