Google is a great company to work for, and it receives more than a million applications each year. With the advance of new AI foundation models (OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini), hiring behaviors and hiring tools undergone a significant shift in interview approaches. With this updated version, increase your chances of getting a recruitment call, impress your interviewers and differentiate yourself from the rest of the applicant pool by investing in the Google Interview Guide created by Googlers.

With my current and ex-Google colleagues, I created this Google Interview Guide (ebook) that details the whole process including how to get an interview with them and the stages candidates endured during the interviews, complete with the questions you need to study to master your interviews (with answers). I’m constantly updating the guide based on our colleagues’ and new hires’ feedback.
