Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Google (Londres, Inglaterra) en may 2025
Entrevista
Highly professional and friendly recruiters who will not ignore you, but I found they will not remember to tell you if you have failed the screening interview, you must reach out to them to get that news and feedback.
Was asked a DSA Leetcode-style question. Not stepped. Was asked about possible Big O time complexity before I could work on the algorithm, which threw me off. Having worked at Google for 2 years prior, I can say the DSA they ask for is pretty much irrelevant to the real job, but this is a well-known controversy and I am neutral on the subject.
Prepare for a bad interviewer. I'm sure there are many good ones, but I was apparently unlucky. The challenge was presented in a very confusing manner which still makes no sense to me, and the interviewer seemed like he found my confusion (which was mainly down to me being neurodivergent and, naturally, very stressed) amusing, which did not help my confidence at all.
First there is a technical interview, focused on your programming skills then a cultural one focused on you fitting into their workplace. Overall the interview is of an average difficulty and it is ok to say that you don't know something

There was a question regarding a python based matrix
The whole interview process, from application to last interview took almost 3 months, including recruiter screen, techncial (coding) screen (the hardest for me) and the last round with 3 coding and a behaviroral one. All the interviewers where nice. I was told a month later that I had passed.
But I'm stuck in team matching, and there are very few openings. Even if you pass the interviews you're not guaranteed the job, so don't go for this option if you're actively looking for a job, it will crush your soul.
I had 2 interview phases. In the first phase I had 1 online technical interview. In the second phase I had 4 online interviews: 1 soft skill and 3 technical interviews. In order to receive an offer you need to have 4 successful interviews

Mostly LeetCode problems, so strong data structure and algorithm knowledge is required.
