What interview questions does Google ask?

Candidates have reported 382 questions from Google interviews to TrueInterview: 219 algorithm, 86 study, 36 system design and 32 object-oriented programming. Each one is filed under the round it came up in, with the month it was reported where a candidate gave one, and opens in the workspace that format calls for — an editor judged against hidden tests for coding and SQL, a whiteboard for system design.

How recent are these Google interview questions?

The most recent Google question on this page was reported in October 2026. A question shows the month a candidate reported it whenever that is known, so an entry that has gone stale is visible as one rather than presented as current.

Which Google interview rounds do these questions come from?

The reported Google questions on this page are filed under 3 rounds: Online Assessment, Phone Screen and Onsite. Filtering by a round gives you the questions candidates were asked at that stage rather than the whole bank at once.

How hard are Google's interview questions?

Of the 296 rated Google questions on this page, the spread is 33 easy, 186 medium and 77 hard. Difficulty is the rating on the question itself, not a prediction of how a particular loop will go.

Where do these Google interview questions come from?

From candidates who sat the interview. Some send us their questions by email or upload; the rest we summarize from interview experiences, on the public board or published elsewhere, then verify and file by company, format and round. Nothing covered by an NDA is accepted, and the sourcing rules are published in full at /methodology.

Has anyone written up their Google interview?

Yes — 675 candidates have published an account of a Google loop, covering the rounds they sat, what they were asked and how it ended. Each write-up has its own page and links to the questions it mentions.

Is there a guide to the Google interview process?

There are 2 guides filed under Google on this page, written round by round: what each stage covers, what it is assessing, and what to practise before it.

Do I need an account to practise Google questions?

Browsing this page needs no account, and 127 of the 382 Google questions listed here open in full for free. The rest are part of a paid plan, and every row says which it is before you click it.
