I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Took over three months, from initial contact to offer. Was reached out by a PM, then went through four interviews. The interviews were mostly behavioral / "tell me about [xyz] work experience". Nothing too difficult. The first two were quick, but the last two interviews took forever to schedule because they were with highest-ranked managers at Google.
Received offer. Was not happy with the compensation package (it was sub Bay Area standard salary.... really, Google?), but accepted for the experience.
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team, had 2 rounds in one day, 30 min apart. Each took 60 min to complete. Didn't tell me the result for 2 months and no feedbacks were provided.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Google (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in Jul 2025
Interview
2 technical rounds after an OA. Tested digital design fundamentals and focused also on my past projects. They really emphasize on basics. They ask for a preferred programming language beforehand (I chose Verilog) and then they would ask you to code up some circuit in verilog in a google doc.

Question 1
Difference between FPGA and ASIC development cycles?
II was shortlisted for the position based on my resume, which aligned well with the role requirements. Following that, I successfully cleared two rounds of interviews that evaluated my technical and communication skills.
