I applied through other source. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I worked my tail off to jump through all the hoops and had "the highest scores for any person who had ever applied for that position" going into the on-site. During the on-site, one guy stonewalled me so I couldn't make any traction on the problem I was supposed to solve. The last interview of the day was supposed to be with a director, and I viewed that as my closer interview -- the one I had to sell to get the job. Due to scheduling conflict, that interview was scheduled without notice. Overall, the on-site was chaotic and the stonewaller was not well-prepared.
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.

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.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
