      Engineer Interview

      Jul 16, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Got approached by a recruiter through linkedin for a position within GCP. Process went pretty fast from there with 4 formal and couple of informal interviews. Formal ones were 1) Role related: Interview was with an experienced GCP engineer where I was asked questions ranging from cloud technologies in general to some specific questions to GCP. I was expected to verbally demonstrate design, technology choices and architecture but not to code anything 2) Cognitive ability: Interview was with one of the senior executive, google doesn't ask typical brain teaser questions anymore and rather focus on giving you real life scenarios with followup questions based on your answers. Both of above interviews were back to back over the hangouts. After that the final phase of interviews also consisted of 2 back to back onsite interviews as below: 3) Leadership & Googlyness: This interview was also conducted by someone on a ladership position where the goal was to test me being culturally fit for google as well as my ability to grow within google as a leader (if it comes to that!). Its expected from you to answer these in the light of real-life situations from your past career. 4) Panel interviews: This interview had 2 parts, main one focuses on you presenting a solution to case study where panel interviewers would take different roles as a customer and ask you questions and regularly interrupt you. Time management can became tricky in this one because of regular questions as well as presenting different architectures and giving a demo within GCP. Second part of this interview consists of a short presentation on something related to your passion where you tell audience on something you like doing besides work.
