Google's entry-level software engineer interview process (L3) focuses heavily on fundamental coding skills, data structures, and algorithms. The interview consists of a recruiter screening call, a technical phone screen, and three technical coding rounds conducted virtually or in-person, followed by a behavioral assessment. Entry-level candidates are expected to demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, clean coding practices, and cultural alignment with Google's values. The entire process typically spans 4-8 weeks.
