I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Google (Bangalore Rural) in Jul 2025
Interview
On campus oa : 2 DSA (medium) questions
Round 1 : DSA round
Focused on how we approach the question and what are the steps we take to solve the question
Also interaction with interviewer is important, don't just jump in to the solution directly instead follow an approach and interact with the interviewer
Round 2: technical + DSA
Again more DSA plus some basic technical questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself after 5 years?
Why should we hire you?
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.
