In this video, I share all about the Google STEP internship ranging from eligibility and requirements, how to apply, and general application tips! I was a Google STEP intern two summers ago and last summer I was a Google SWE intern, so I draw from my experiences to help you guys craft a good application! If you're interested in a Google STEP internship, definitely watch this video for essential tips on how to create the best application possible.
Throughout the video, I mention Google's career website as a resource and a place to apply.
Google Students Career Page: careers.google.com/students/
Google STEP Page: buildyourfuture.withgoogle.co...
Google Internships Page: buildyourfuture.withgoogle.co...

@seal0118 3 года назад

this was actually really fun to watch, i cant believe more famous youtubers dont even offer half the quality this video does, thank you i just have one question about the actual coding interviews, should i expect monster-level of questions or something in the medium/easy range of difficulty? because that's what im currently doing

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you like the quality because I work really hard on my videos :) In terms of the interviews themselves, they specifically choose questions based on your level of experience. I think you can definitely expect easy range for STEP (maybe an easier medium-level question) but it's specifically based on what you would/should know based on the projects and classes on your resume.

Hello, Megan! such a helpful video! I am first year student and I know only C++. Should I apply and how can write the resume?

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Hey! I would definitely recommend applying, you don't need multiple programming languages in order to apply. You can also do the coding interview in any language that you prefer, so anything is good. In terms of writing the resume, I would make sure you include some relevant technical projects (these can be from classes, personal things you work on, etc) or work experiences that you may have had. I also think it's a good idea to list off relevant classes that you have so that they know about your technical abilities! If you'd like some personalized resume feedback from me, you can sign up for a session on my website, meganphibbons.com/services !

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The interviews are very focused on data structures and algorithms, so it's always a good idea to practice standard topics like arrays, lists, maps, trees, etc and sorting, recursion, etc. In terms of competitive programming, you don't need to be good at competitive programming, I just think you need to be able to work on projects/understand your topics. In terms of practice, I would check out coding bat, hackerrank, leetcode, and cracking the coding interview! I posted another video about technical interview prep if you want to check it out!

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

I'm glad you liked the video! Before I got the STEP internship, I was pretty skilled in Java, Python, and C and had some other project experience. I also participated in a lot of clubs outside of my academics, which I think helped to make me seem more well-rounded! I would say the questions for the STEP interviews are definitely more DSA, although you could get some general development questions as well!

Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've had a really busy week of school! In terms of the essay lengths, I seem to remember them being capped at 200 words each. Mine were all between 190 words and 200 because I wanted to give them as much detail as possible to work with! In terms of the time I spent, I think I spent about a day or so writing them and then two or three days working with friends + family to proofread them and edit after getting suggestions.

Hello! I think regardless of what you specialize in (back-end, Android development, Web development, etc), they will still ask about Data Structures and Algorithms.

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Hey! First of all, congrats on accepting your offer! I personally did STEP after my sophomore year, then got a return offer for the SWE internship the following summer. I then got the return offer to convert to full-time for when I graduate! The process honestly isn't too bad, you just write a midpoint evaluation 6 weeks into the internship and then a final evaluation in the last week. Both your host and co-host write feedback on your performance, then all of your information goes to the hiring committee - and I mean ALL of it - past interviews, your original resume, your new resume, your hosts' feedback, your project writeups, etc. Then they decide whether or not you have to interview (I didn't have to interview for STEP to SWE, but I did have to interview for SWE to Full Time). I hope this was helpful! I'll probably make a video a bit later into the summer explaining the full process :)

The interview questions for STEP are specifically chosen based on your level of experience (specifically based on classes).

Is the program eligible for international students? I heard that there are options in Europe. Is there a “salary” to maintain yourself? What was your everyday life like?

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Thank you for the questions! I believe they do have options in Europe, as well as Canada! I'm not sure about other countries but you should definitely check depending on your location. In terms of salary, STEP interns get paid hourly rates (I don't fully remember what the rate was, but it was definitely competitive). Additionally, they give you a relocation bonus to cover any flights/moving things you may need to get to your location! My every day life was amazing, I typically would come into the office, make some coffee while chatting with my coworkers, and sit down to start work for the day. Around noon, I would take a lunch break in a Google cafe (they prepare free breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day) with my team. After eating lunch, I would usually take a quick walk around the trail right outside of our building before getting back to work. I would typically start my day around 8:30 AM and end around 5:30 PM but the hours are extremely flexible and totally up to you! Hope this helps :)

Honestly, I don't think you really need any (although having skills definitely helps). The program itself is designed for beginners, so if you don't have any skills going in, that's fine! To better your chances, I would recommend having concrete skills in at least one programming language and at lease one personal project to make your resume stand out :)

All beautyful, but I have a question: is the STEP program only for people who are resident in the US? Cause I live in Italy and I'd love to apply

Not at all, STEP has locations everywhere! I would recommend checking out the STEP website for a full list of locations !

@scherbatskyzoned 3 года назад

Maybe it's a dumb question, but do you get paid for the internship? Because I was thinking about applying next year, but I would have to move from my country and that would be pretty expensive

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

This isn't a dumb question at all! They provide a relocation bonus to help with any travel or housing costs (although I don't think they are providing it for remote interns this year). Additionally, they pay an hourly rate that is very competitive and livable!

Aww this sounds very cool but I have no experience in pretty much anything. I've been out of school since I graduated high school since 2012. Not even good work experience, just a cashier..even no extra curricular activity, my school that I'm starting is an online university. (No resume)..I defiantly would not even be considered.

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

That's totally valid! You should use this year to prepare some and learn more things to build experience so you can apply next year!

Hey I don't have transcript to apply for Google step Internship what to do? What should be there plz explain

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

A transcript is really just a document from your university stating all of the courses you've taken and the grade you received. If you school doesn't offer those, you could list out all of your course numbers, titles, professors, and grades (as well as your cumulative GPA). In the document, you could then write a brief explanation that your university doesn't offer transcripts. Hope this helps!

Maam, I am in class 10 currently, I am from India . What all Programming language should I learn . I have learnt Python and Kotlin. What all do I need to apply for it ?. Please take a little bit of time from your busy schedule. To answer this question. 🙏

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Hello! In terms of programming languages, I think it's always a good idea to have a solid foundation in something like Java (object-oriented), something like Python, and some sort of front-end or mobile development. It seems like you have Python and Kotlin covered, so if you're interested in learning something new, I would recommend Java! For the programming interviews particularly, I would just use whichever language you're most comfortable with.

Hello Megan, I also have applied for STEP internship program. I have already applied to 3 places. So, should I apply at more ppaces using different e-mail Id. Pleas respond.

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Hello! I would recommend to not do this. They specifically ask you to not apply to more than three programs, and they will know if you just change the email and keep applying. Companies want you to respect their rules, so if you try to bypass them, it may hurt all of your applications (rather than bettering your chances).

For STEP North America, they paid us hourly and I believe the hourly wage depends on location and role. I don't usually share the exact amount that they pay, but I can guarantee that it is competitive with other big tech companies!

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Sorry for the delay in response time, I was finishing up my semester! I hope the interview went well :) Typically they test on common data structures or algorithms, and for anyone else with this question, I think they send out an interview prep checklist where they give you topics to review! I honestly would just review common things like maps, linked lists, graphs, trees, and how to traverse those structures so you know what to do if you encounter them!

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Yes I'd love to! So when I applied the first time (I got rejected the first time) I applied on November 3rd, which was the deadline at the time. I think they got back to me with a rejection letter around January? I don't fully remember. The time I got accepted, I applied very early (within the first week of it opening, so probably mid-September) and they extended an interview invite in mid-October (about 4 weeks later). I interviewed with them late October and around 2 weeks later I got the offer! Then, I entered the team-matching phase and I was assigned to a team & location by mid-December!

Hey I want to know about 1. difference between apply online and by referral? 2. If I apply by referral than I need to apply through online? 3. What kind of questions ask in interview? Both behavioural and technical? How to prepare for it? Thanks in advance.

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

Hey! Great questions. I think applying with a referral puts you in a separate applicant pool and makes it more likely for your application to get looked at closely. If you apply through a referral, you do not need to apply online! You can even double check with the person who referred you to make sure your application went through. In terms of what they ask in an interview, it's primarily technical. If you want, you can check out the video I just posted "How To Ace The Technical Interview" for advice on prepping for interviews and some types of questions I've seen in interviews. I go over coding challenges (which Google does send to some applicants), Whiteboarding interviews (aka the phone call you'd have with an engineer), and theory questions (typically Google STEP asks these to first-year students). Let me know if you have any other questions after watching that video!

@MeganPhibbons 3 года назад

The only real way to prepare is to practice! Try doing some mock interviews or leetcode problems to get yourself ready for the interview. In terms of getting a referral, it’s best to ask for one from someone you already have a relationship (work, friendship, etc) with instead of just asking random people on LinkedIn. I personally don’t get referrals to people unless I know them or have worked closely with them before, and I think many others are the same. Hope this helps!

@Priyanka-xh9gs 3 года назад

Hi Megan! I’m just slightly confused on the part where you mentioned ‘if u apply with a referral, you don’t need to apply online.’ So then do we not need to apply at all or do we send our application to the referrer who then uploads it? Would the application be the same just uploaded differently? I was also wondering around what time we should ask a person for a referral with respect to application dates. Should we only ask them in the open timeframe or is asking a month or so before the applications even open up a better idea? Lastly, would you recommend getting as many referrals as possible or is one the optimal level? Thank you very much in advance for taking the time out to answer my doubts!

That's not officially posted anywhere, but I believe that's how it was for my friends who got STEP in their first year!

I would recommend at least applying this year! You don't need to hit every single requirement in order to apply, the purpose of the program is to teach. Also, I don't think you need to be from the location, but you may need to go to university there!
