I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
A single day of 4 round technical interviews with the hiring manager asking very tough and technical questions about the role and device that I would be working on. One of the team members of the team I was joining also interviewed me and asked equally challenging but different questions about speaker design, mechanics and electronics involved in the audio hardware. The last two were a product design engineer and a Program manager. There was a lunch session so got to experience the Google food offering before getting started.
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team, had 2 rounds in one day, 30 min apart. Each took 60 min to complete. Didn't tell me the result for 2 months and no feedbacks were provided.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Google (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in Jul 2025
Interview
2 technical rounds after an OA. Tested digital design fundamentals and focused also on my past projects. They really emphasize on basics. They ask for a preferred programming language beforehand (I chose Verilog) and then they would ask you to code up some circuit in verilog in a google doc.
