initial phone screen with the recruiter and then typical leetcode dsa problem - medium difficulty. the interviewer had difficulty explaining the problem and offered to postpone for another interview which i accepted. they didn't let me pick my language of choice so i went with their recommendation of python
I was contacted by a recruiter and later scheduled for two interview rounds: a technical screen to assess my skills, followed by a leadership round to evaluate my collaboration and problem-solving approach.

Question 1
Typical scenario based questions for behavioural round
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Feb 2026
Interview
Schnelle Absage über die Statusmeldung im Portal. Ohne Referenz von internen Mitarbeitern ist es schwierig, in die Interviewphase zu gelangen. Anschließend ist man für 90 Tage im Bewerbungsverfahren blockiert, was eine erneute Bewerbung ebenfalls erschwert. Das ist nicht ganz fair, wenn die Gründe für die Absage sehr unterschiedlich sein können, wie etwa wenn zu viele Bewerber bereits im Prozess sind.
An external recruiter from randsad contacted me through LinkedIn. first interview is scheduled after 3 weeks. its about a coding question where i failed in writing complete code in 30 min.
