Still a fantastic place to work, especially for new graduates
Google has plenty of talented engineers, impressive computational infrastructure and resources, and the culture to build products that make big impacts. Working for Google is an ideal starting point for young engineers or new graduates.
There are plenty of challenging problems to solve, and you have the flexibility to choose the projects that interest you most. I am not saying that you can give up the current project at any time; it is responsible to finish the projects that were started, but you are encouraged to switch projects every 1 to 2 years, or at least, you can do the "fun" things with your 20% time.
If you want to be prompted sooner than the majority, and you are not lucky enough to work in a highly visible project, then you have to pay much more than usual to beat the performance of others, because others are good too.
Keep focusing on innovation and encouraging Googlers to take risks.

Software Engineer III
Great! Just awesome, thrilled to have interviewed. It is very similar to the process at other large tech companies. You know, whiteboarding, on-sites or virtual on-sites, assessments (sometimes take-home, sometimes live), emails, recruiters, etc. Ex

My guess is that the interview difficulty, hiring bar, and interview types (code, design, etc.) depend on the level you are interviewing for. I interviewed for L4 specifically (I believe the title is SWE III). The process began with a quick HR phone
Software Engineer III
Very smooth process. The HR was very friendly, but the problem was a bit hard. It was a LeetCode problem with strings. They also arranged a mock-up problem before the actual interview.
