Google Staff Technical Writer Interview Preparation Guide

Google's Technical Writer interview process follows a structured 7-step approach spanning 4-6 weeks. For Staff-level candidates, the process includes an initial recruiter screening, two phone screen rounds, and five onsite interview rounds. The process evaluates technical writing expertise, information architecture and documentation strategy, cross-functional collaboration skills, mentorship and leadership capabilities, and cultural fit with Google's engineering and product teams. Candidates are assessed on their ability to work with complex technical information, drive documentation standards across teams, and influence communication best practices at scale.
