Really good experience, the interview process was very clearly explained and there were no issues with any interview. They were very flexible in terms of scheduling the different interviews. Overall really satisfied.
Other New Graduate Software Engineer interview reviews for Google
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied for the new grad residency at the end of January, but the recruiter suggested the new grad SWE role was a better fit. did a personality survey and 1 hour coding challenge. after that, recruiter said they wanted to continue, so did another survey (about work habits and preferences), a phone interview with the recruiter, and a phone interview with an engineer using google docs as a whiteboard. a couple days after that, got a call saying they were ending the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one of the questions in the coding challenge was about file paths, and the big one during the phone interview was about hash tables. fair questions, not too difficult but challenging enough that you don't just breeze through them.
