I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2026
Interview
The first round of the interview process was a Recruiter screen. I did not move on to the next round. So I do not know the rest of the interview process
Interviewing at Google felt structured, challenging, and welcoming, with thoughtful questions, collaborative problem solving, clear communication, supportive interviewers, and an emphasis on culture, curiosity, and real world impact, and innovation.
Very SWE-heavy. Not much care for statistical theory, ML, or data science. Mostly about A/B testing and business analytics. I feel like it would be better for them to be a bit more technically specific in distinguishing AI/ML from business analytics.
