I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2024
Interview
There were 5 rounds,
First 3 were of coding rounds on Data structure and algorithms. After that it was with managers. Initial screening will happen when HR calls you. HR assists and provides materials for interviews preparation
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Stock market coding questions which is there in leetcode
2 coding rounds (easy leetcode)
1 behavioral round
2 system design + integration round
Coding rounds were much easier than the design and integration rounds, couldn’t find much info online about what does integration round look like, they were indeed tricky. Interviewers would keep on asking design details. Make sure you understand the core components for a system.
