Interviewed Feb 2010 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took a day)

There have been 4 interviews onsite and 2 via phone. Usually they ask questions about leadership experience, role related knowledge and experience, your personality and hobbies and of course they do a lot of brain teaser.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Istanbul (Turkey) (took 2 months)

First, I got a phone interview with a recruiter from Paris office. She gave me an immediate feedback about the interview and told me that I was a good fit. They have send me an e-mail in the following week stating that Industry Leader wants to meet me on Google Talk since I was away from the country at that time.It went OK and I passed to the next stage. The third interview took place in Istanbul office, I got 2 one to one interviews.The first one was with a Account Manager and went pretty well.He asked 2 brainteasers followed by 3 online marketing optimization questions. The interview with Industry Leader did not go well.She was bitchy during the interview and asked random questions about my qualifications, what she wants to see on the candidate ...etc. She was not really interested in a candidate who is eager to learn, a good fit to Google culture and has an interesting CV.
Take the offer if you are just into sales. The industry leader want to see a candidate with good selling skills and that's all!!!

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Prague (Czech Republic) (took 4 weeks)

I applied Online in June and I was very suprised that Google recruiter contacted me in late October. I did two phone interviews, one with recruiter (scaning my background and what do I know about AdWords) and one with Industrial manager.

Later then, I did 5 interviews on-site with people I would collaborate with and finaly with Country Manager. All interviews went pretty well, people there were really nice and communicative. Recruiter was French but all interviews were set-up correctly.

They all wanted to know how did I use AdWords/how would I sell it to customers and we also had a chat about my interests. Some of them gave me some brainteasers.

After final interview I havent heard a single word from them, even when I tried to contact them, so I still dont know, what went wrong. Only guess I can make is that Country Manager told me in feedback (after long and suprisingly plesant interview) that I lack sales skills (but she told me that it is not such a big deal).
