I applied around the end of September, didn't hear back until mid-November, then did two 45-minute virtual rounds in December: one technical and one googliness/behavioral. I heard back within the week that I passed, then had about another month to prep before the onsite in mid-January, which was just two more 45-minute technical interviews. The coding questions felt more custom than straight LeetCode, and the main thing Google seemed to care about was how I clarified the problem, communicated my thinking, and reasoned my way to a solution. I made it through the full loop but got rejected, and the timing was all over the place because the first feedback came quickly while the final decision took about three weeks." **Role:** Software Engineer · Entry Level / L3 Read the full [Google software engineer interview experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-software-engineer-interview-54740a). ## Related questions - [Your manager wants you to bring your work laptop to DEFCON, how would you secure it?](https://www.aced.io/questions/5755/secure-work-laptop-defcon) - [If you joined a new team with low morale after the previous manager left, how would you set up the team and bring it back?](https://www.aced.io/questions/6322/improve-team-morale-after-manager-exit) - [What would you do if you disagreed with your manager?](https://www.aced.io/questions/1522/disagree-with-manager) ## Related courses ### [Software Engineering Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/software-engineering) ![Software Engineering Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/4VkuYewBHUFIVUS5oJDW5h/02e833439b1289f25f38f13f81cbdca3/adobe_stock_optimized.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We help candidates prepare for software engineering roles at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and other top companies.
