Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the process for Google L5 (Android) – India and wanted to learn from others who’ve recently gone through it.

My recruiter mentioned the following interview structure:

• 2 qualification rounds

  • Round 1: Choice between DSA or Android
  • Round 2: Googliness

• Onsite: 2 DSA + 1 System Design

I had a few questions:

1. What kind of questions were asked in:

   • DSA rounds?
   • Android round (if you chose that)?
   • System Design round?

2. For the System Design round:

   • What level of depth is expected for L5?
   • Is it more backend-heavy or Android/client-side focused?
   • How did you prepare for it?

Any tips, preparation strategies, or resources would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
