I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Pilani) in Jul 2025
Interview
The initial round was an online assessment on Hackerearth where we had to solve 2 questions in 1 hr. both questions were leetcode hard. the round was designed to test your thinking and implementation skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the first question involved maths + graph DSU and other involved the concept of 3D dynamic programming with space optimization.
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.
