Got reached out to by a recruiter after applying online, and then I took an Online Assessment with extremely easy coding questions, and then a personality assessment which was pretty basic, Then, I got rejected with no feedback or anything
It was a phone call interview from Google. They asked me about my competitive programming profiles (my ratings, number of questions solved), past projects and GPA. The interviewer was friendly and calm. It was a good experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
First, I was supposed to go through only 2 interviews. They both went very good and I was expecting an offer. Instead, I received an email asking to go through another interview. I accepted but the interviewer did not show up to the interview. They decided to schedule another interview of the same type as the first two. Again, I did very well, but I ended up being rejected. The whole process took 2 months, I think it is too much for an internship position.
