Google 2024 New Grad Timeline: Four Onsite Rounds, HC, One-Day Team Match

Role: Software Engineer, New Grad — Campus
Result: Passed hiring committee and matched with a team
Report time: October 2024

Timeline

• September 16–17: onsite interviews
• October 3: passed hiring committee
• October 4 and 8: Team Match calls
• October 8: matched with a Bay Area mobile team

The candidate said hiring committee took roughly two weeks. Team Match finished very quickly because the selected group had urgent headcount.

Technical interviews

The only retained topic labels were binary search, dynamic programming, and calculator. The actual prompts and calculator operators were not preserved, so no technical link is asserted.

The candidate completed most work. One round ended with an unresolved dry-run bug, while later rounds included follow-ups that were largely completed.

Behavioral interview

The candidate remembered more than 20 questions, including:

• A project whose goals repeatedly changed and whether that affected motivation
• Giving constructive feedback
• Working with different styles
• Going beyond project requirements

One Team Match team also asked about the candidate's biggest achievement, learning something quickly, and handling criticism. The candidate stressed that the speed of their Team Match was an individual case, not a guaranteed timeline.
