I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Redwood City, CA) in Jul 2023
Interview
Recruiters are a bit lost, they can't share compensation, asked to speak to me but then said I was "overqualified for the role" I had sent the recruiter my resume and she reached on on LinkedIn which captures all my experience. She literally reviewed my resume on the call. Google is a joke of pretentious recruiters, gatekeeping and actually some of the most uneducated in the business.

Question 1
Interview stopped before it started because the interviewee chose to review my resume which meant I was "overqualified"
the process is very fast. i got 4 rounds of interview within 2 weeks, and got the feedback right after each round of interviews. sometimes its depends on the chemistry between you and the interviewer.
The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
Disorganized recruiting with random meeting invites with no explanations. Interviewer wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed to not care at all about the interview. The feedback call after the interview sounded like recruiter was reading an AI generating summary of the interview, which felt not personal at all. Overall awful experience.
