      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by one or two technical interviews. The interviews focused on problem-solving, data structures, and basic algorithms. The interviewers were professional and supportive, and the process was well-organized.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google

      Interview

      I applied for the Google Summer Internship through the official Google Careers page. The application involved submitting my resume, basic details, and answering a few optional questions. The portal was user-friendly and provided a clear status tracker. Although I haven’t received a response yet, the application process itself was smooth and professional. From what I’ve heard from others who went through further stages, the process usually includes multiple technical rounds focusing on data structures, algorithms, and behavioral questions related to Google’s core values. Tips for Future Applicants: Make sure your resume is strong and tailored to the role Showcase projects, internships, or open-source contributions Practice Leetcode (medium/hard) and Google-style interview problems Prepare for potential questions on systems design, problem-solving, and coding under pressure Overall Impression: Even though I haven't been interviewed yet, the process felt fair and organized. Google is known for its rigorous selection, and it’s a great opportunity for any student aiming to grow in the tech field.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: What was the one thing that they asked you? I haven’t been interviewed yet, but from what I’ve gathered through peer experiences and research, one common question Google asks interns is: “How would you solve a real-world problem using code?” They typically expect candidates to explain their thought process clearly, break down the problem, and write efficient code—often related to data structures and algorithms. Preparing for behavioral questions like “Tell me about a time you overcame a challenge” is also important.

      Interview

      The process consisted of two consecutive, 45-minute technical interviews. You could choose the language you are most comfortable with from a list of options. After that, I had to wait about a month or two to get a response.
