I applied online. I interviewed at Google Cloud (Bombaim) in Jul 2019
Interview
core subjects it was good My journey began with a deep yearning to learn and the determination to start from scratch. I recognized that to accomplish my objectives, I must construct a solid foundation of knowledge and competencies. I began by delving into books and online resources on my areas of interest, such as computer programming, machine learning, and Oops concepts. Furthermore, I enrolled in online courses and attended workshops and seminars to enhance my abilities.
Hard LeetCode-style interviews (often seen at top tech companies) are, by design, exceptionally difficult, focusing on niche algorithms, complex data structures, or "have-you-seen-it-before" problems within a short, high-pressure timeframe. Many developers, even senior ones, struggle with these, often viewing them as flawed, high-pressure "theater" rather than a reflection of day-to-day engineering skill.
I had 3 interview rounds and all of them were leetcode medium-hard style including behavioral questions. Overall process was slow and took around 2 months. Interviewers were nice and helpful.
The interview process was quite a lengthy and challenging experience, with several rounds of interviews over an extended period of time. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer from Google Cloud.
