Marketing Manager at Google
No Offer – Interviewed in Mountain View, CA – Reviewed Mar 20, 2013
Interview Details – Applied online and heard back within a few days from a recruiter. Initial HR phone screening lasted about 20mins. Had a follow up 45 min phone conversation with someone from the team and then went on-site to meet with the hiring manager for another 45 mins. Everyone I spoke to was incredibly nice and positive. Ultimately, I was told the team was going through re-org and that they would not have any updates for several weeks. I was informed at the beginning of the process by HR that it would take about 4-6 weeks, however be prepared to take longer.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX Aug 2011 – Reviewed Mar 8, 2013
Interview Details – Ridiculous. Too much emphasis on school/GPA and not as much on actual experience and aptitude. They want to make sure you are well in-tune with all Google products, so be very knowledgeable.
Interview Question – What Google product would you be and why? Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA May 2011 – Reviewed Jan 3, 2013
Interview Details –
I pursued Google opportunities through veteran recruiting at a top 3 MBA school in the Northeast. Of the 20 companies I have interacted with during recruiting, Google was easily the most UNPROFESSIONAL.
-Made appointments and commitments that were not kept. No-shows for meetings leaves a terrible impression.
-Left several messages as requested but without response. Occasionally I would get a voicemail with an excuse and a new appointment time, which veteran MBA recruiter would then miss.
-Team sent a representative as a last-minute fill-in for the main veteran recruiter who didn't know what positions were available. Time consuming planning, not helpful.
-Recruiter invited me to campus. I left messages to coordinate, traveled cross country, heard nothing back, then got a voicemail a few days after I came back home. Offensively bad organization. Check your calendar buddy. And your messages. ANY of them.
-I did get a rejection email from Google months later for a position I'd never heard of or had applied . I sent that one around other HR contacts I had who were concerned but had no explanations.
WORST MBA RECRUITING TEAM
Interview Question – What time are you available to talk? (useless question - veteran MBA recruiter would be a no-show time and time again) Answer Question

Interview Details – I interviewed both with a local HR person and an overseas recruiter. Standard phone screen. Asked about previous experiences, GPA and salary expectations. Went to second round of interview. Another overseas person, but a peer. All people were very nice and interviews went well. They gave feedback on why I was not going further with process, a rarity.
