Google Early Career Campus OA Timeline: Old Application, New Opening, and Hangout

Role: Software Engineer, New Grad / Early Career
Result: OA passed; interview scheduling started
Report time: April 2025
Application: Referral

The candidate had applied to the 2025 Early Career Campus role in October 2024 with a referral. They received a snapshot/hiring assessment and coding OA near the end of March 2025, shortly before a new Early Career opening was expected in April.

They considered reapplying because their resume had improved and asked whether a second application would help or interfere with the existing process.

Outcome update

• The OA contained two easy questions that required only a few lines of code.
• The candidate no longer remembered either prompt.
• A recruiter scheduled a group hangout several days after OA completion, followed by interview scheduling.

Commenters offered conflicting opinions about reapplying and account merging. One person reported that the system showed a previous OA as passed despite not completing a new one, but that was a separate candidate's experience.

No technical prompt can be linked without inventing the forgotten questions.
