I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Taipei) in Mar 2025
Interview
Very standard Google interview. First round recruiter to outline and chat, 3 rounds of technicals, then a final hiring committee round.
Unfortunately I didn't make it past the last round, and be wary there is a 1-year cooldown period before you can attempt again.
The technical rounds themselves weren't particularly hard if you are competent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some embedded-related coding questions, which also had to factor in some hardware limitations.
Invited directly to on-site in Mountain View due to strong referral.
Interviews were extremely hard questions, over my experience and knowledge. Interviewers seemed quite boring individuals to work with. Questions can range from system design to sorting algorithms.
I applied through website. They gave a phone screen then a coding test
And I have to discuss the problem and my solution orally
The problems look like leet code
So you have to brush up data structures and Algorithms
