Google Cloud Software Engineer interview experience

I was scheduled for an onsite format that included two coding rounds plus one system design round, all packed into a two-week window.

The pace honestly surprised me—there wasn’t much breathing room between rounds, so my focus was mostly about getting through each stage cleanly and not letting the schedule rattle me. By the time I was walking into the first coding interview, the process already felt like it was moving fast. I didn’t see the outcome yet, but the structure itself made the experience feel high-pressure from the start.
