I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Applied online and received a notice for a phone interview in the coming week. Had one call with recruiter which I thought went well, but ultimately got an email saying they have decided to move on with other candidates. I was disappointed, but understood as I was likely under-qualified for the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about your most recent internship program (I was a fresh grad at the time)
I submitted my resume, waited weeks, then got to do a recruiter screen and a tough coding call. Finally, I got an onsite interview before being told I was rejected
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given integers n, d and three arrays a[], b[], c[] of size n each, print count of all distinct triplets {i,j,k} such that all three conditions satisfy -
abs(a[i]-b[j])<=d,
abs(b[j]-c[k])<=d &
abs(c[k]-a[i])<=d.
n<=100000
(You can assume the arrays are sorted)
Follow up: print all triplets
First round interview, covering mainly brain teasers and experience. Very analytical question list and live problem soling and gaming scenarios. Enjoyable but challenging process, very intelligent interviewers. Following round was a super day
It was very uncertain, overall the area of coverage and expectation was just too much. Must know very deep into the space. I would recommend to study beyond the technicals and more about the space of which the team operated in.
