Intellectually challenging with growth opportunities. Relevant work that is used by or helps billions.
Harder to stand out. Velocity dampened by necessary attention to detail (pro and con) associated with balancing features with privacy and security. Easy to get lost in a narrow space.
The Google SWE interview process typically starts with a resume review, followed by a recruiter screen to discuss your background and role fit. Next come 1–2 technical phone/Google Meet interviews focused on coding, algorithms, and data structures.
Many different rounds. Interviewed by 5 people for 45 minutes each. Interviewed based on role-specific fit and company-related fit. The interview process is well-documented on many different websites. I recommend you practice coding beforehand.
The process was average. First is the phone call, then two back-to-back phone interviews. Lastly, a video interview with HR to pick what team or project is currently open.
