Mountain View, CAPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Google Cloud Software Engineer role (with a networking engineering track mentioned) using a clearly timed set of steps over about three weeks.

Recruiter call — a 30-minute call.
Phone screen — a 1-hour session.
Coding screen — a 45-minute coding round.
Design — a 45-minute design round.
Hiring panel — a hiring panel stage that felt separate and took about two weeks.
Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, and the takeaway was that the process was transparent on time-boxed rounds but still required top performance across coding and design.
