I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Two technical interviews with one to three questions each depending how fast you go through them. Questions focus on data structures, algorithms, time complexity analysis, etc. Leet code type questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write an algorithm that takes in a string and returns whether the string is a palindrome or not.
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
It was online and fairly standart. You will be sent a Google Meet link after scheduling with your interviewer. You will be asked one or two coding questions for STEP and SWE Intern positions. If you pass the technical rounds, you will be advanced to the team matching phase. As a tip, team matching is unfortunately not a guarantee and you should definitely continue looking for other opportunities as long as you don't have an offer in your hand.
