      Optical Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      Job post had a very limited info, I heard back from recruiter super fast and she told me what expertise they want. that came as a surprise, because if it is something that I can hear right after applying, it can be in job post too and it can avoid wasting time of candidate and recruiter.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2021

      interview process is very slow. It took about three weeks to get to the 1st interview. The interview is all about technical questions from basic level to advanced level. Few questions are about previous experience or behavioral. After the interview, there is no feedback at all, and the HR does not respond to my email or message.
