Is there a difference in format/interview rounds? I recently heard that Google started doing a behavioral round and was wondering if this applies to a certain level or for all SWEs.
I had an on-site just last month. 5 coding questions. Zero behavioral and zero design. I'm guessing l3 loop
Is L4 a manager role? What title typically applies to a L4?
SWE III
Wrong l4 is swe2. L5 senior IC equivalent to mgr1
Both are same and HC is same for 3 and 4. L5 onwards committee is separate. Interview performance determines level during HC.
Are you sure it’s a different committee between L4 and L5?
Yes
All SWE interview loops (L3 and up) have a behavioral interview now.
Starting when?
Started in April
System design for L4. I did L3 loop in the last couple months and no behavioral round.
