I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Google (Pryor, OK) in Jan 2014
Interview
Well I arrived 15 minutes early then I had to wait another hour for them to arrive. No one was in the office. The security guard told me towait for them in a building .
When they arrived they where all carrying boxes in and sorting equipment 5 people . The interview started an hour behind no apology was made . When we got into the interview room there were no introductions made by them . everyone looked tired. They asked if I was ready to begin then started asking me textbook CCNA questions. It was VERY CLEAR they did not want to be there or interview me . Either that or they made up their mind earlier as to who they wanted to hire and where just going through the motions . I did not get a fair interview from them . but maybe I Just got unlucky this go around .

Did my initial interview. Got asked some multiple choice questions about linux and troubleshooting. I got moved on to the next round of interviews. My interviw was supposed to be via video but my interviewer didn't show up. I ended up doing it over the phone.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Lincoln, NE) in Mar 2026
Interview
I had a brief screening interview over Google meet. Initial invitation was sent to wrong recruiter, rescheduled to meet with correct recruiter later in the week. They had me fill out a pre-screening form that they then used as a template for much of the interview. The recruiter was new so 3 people sat in with her, they had all of us turn our cameras off which was a little odd. Pretty average interview questions, but I was surprised about how disorganized and unprepared the Google team was. I was told I would receive a response that week either way about next steps, and I haven't heard anything after a month. I received another offer so I did not feel a need to follow up, as they were also disorganized and unprepared.
