I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Emea) in Dec 2024
Interview
Technical assessment then 2 back to back technical interviews. Both of them are real world problem that you have to solve using leetcode style. They don't ask about anything else, it is just 1 question per interview and then follow up questions on the same question.

Question 1
They asked me priority queues and hashmap questions.
It was decent. had 3 rounds of interview. 2 technical one behavioural. Also a phone screening. The interviews were more difficult as you kept going. All happened online and I was allowed to use any language that i wanted
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
