I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
Longish process, but handled with care and precise expectations laid out. In the end according to feedback, the fit was not ideal, although they liked me and knew I could do the job. The people I met and spoke to, from the recruiter to handlers to greeters and team I interviewed with on site were all super cool and obviously dedicated. On site was a four hour multi-one-on-one including lunch meeting affair.
Good interviewers that ask a lot of questions to gauge your domain knowledge. Do not feel daunted because they just need to know your thought process. Speak more and out loud. Think out loud.
Two process interview. was not clear. first interview with recruiter which thought it will go well. second with Hiring manager which was not clear what was asked or needed. Not sure why went through this.

Question 1
Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
