I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in May 2021
Interview
I put in my resume and after around 2 months I received an assessment in an email. After completing the assessment my recruiter had a group call session where she went over the interview process and gave us interview tips. There were 5 proctored interviews: 1 behavioral and 4 technical. At the end of each interview they give you time to ask questions. I chose to split my interviews into 2 days. The interviews were difficult, but I was well prepared so they all went smoothly. 2 weeks later I was approved by the hiring committee and 1 week after that I was assigned a product area and given final approval.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In general, study a variety of leetcode questions with different data structures and algorithms (DP, tree traversal, stack, etc). I studied around 40 hours in total. Don't freak out if you do poorly in 1 interview as they'll look at your overall performance. Practice your interpersonal skills too as they'll want to see how you handle team interaction in the behavioral interview.
1 coding assessment. If you pass, you get to the final round which consists of 4 rounds in one day. 3 technical and one behavioral. The algorithms I had was BFS, Min heaps, and backtracking(parentheses)
Got an OA first.
And an interview call.
Question was backtracking leetcode.
i would say a medium-hard question . I was able to solve it but still got rejected. I was hoping for second on site round. idk why .
But i think my interviewer is not in interested in my code like she is not even correcting me.

Interview
I applied online with no referral. First was an online coding challenge then 4 virtual onsite 45 minute interviews. I had a call with my recruiter to learn about the details of the interview process. They were 3 technical interviews and 1 behavioral.
