I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Google (Riad) in Feb 2024
Interview
Very professional, left time at the end for questions and feedback, demonstrated clear communication throughout, and created a comfortable environment for discussion. They asked thoughtful, relevant questions that aligned with the role, and provided clear instructions during the technical portion. The interviewer was respectful of time, attentive to my responses, and encouraged a two-way conversation. Overall, it was a well-structured and engaging interview experience that reflected positively on the team and the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to write a Python function that detects outliers in a dataset using the IQR method. I had to explain the logic, implement it live, and apply it to a sample column. They were interested in both my coding accuracy and how clearly I communicated my approach.
In the technical round, I faced a challenging A/B testing question regarding YouTube thumbnails that pushed my analytical skills. I was also asked to discuss metrics for evaluating user engagement, which had me thinking on my feet. The behavioral section was tough, but I found the principles I studied on PracHub to be incredibly relevant. The overall experience was intense and demanding, yet I received an offer in the end. Ultimately, I decided to decline, as I felt it wasn't the right fit for my career goals.

Question 1
Design an A/B test to evaluate the impact of a new YouTube homepage thumbnail design on user watch time. How would you choose the success metric, sample size, and handle novelty effects?
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.
