I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2021
Interview
Interviewer was pretty disconnected, distracted and looked like did not know what he wanted to or tried to ask. It was easy to connect with HR and a get a phone/video interview right away.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a random variable? How do you test if it comes from a particular distribution?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
Back to back interview.
