Software Engineering Intern, Summer 2027

Google’s interview process typically starts with an online coding assessment lasting 60‑90 minutes, focusing on data structures and algorithms. Successful candidates move to two technical phone/video rounds where they solve coding problems on a shared editor and discuss system design concepts. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, motivations, and internship logistics. Preparation should emphasize problem‑solving speed, clear communication, and a solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (platform test) → Round 2: Technical interview (coding, system design, data structures) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivations, internship logistics)
