I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Estocolmo, ) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview process typically includes multiple stages: an initial phone screening, technical assessments, and panel interviews. These evaluate skills, experience, and cultural fit. Candidates may solve practical tasks or answer behavioral questions, focusing on problem-solving and teamwork abilities.

Interview
A one year contract via outsource hiring company for a Data Scientist position. Had three online sessions in which met in total five different people from the team, each meeting with a team member took one hour.

Question 1
Questions came from three categories.
1) Coding of simple data-structure realted questions.
2) SQL questions
3) Statistics/ probability theory questions (these where somewhat to verify basic intuition of these fields rather seeking written formal answers)
Interview was very good but due to experience and little less worthy projects, I wasn't selected but overall it was a great experience, so I would recommend to attend if you got one.
