Google Programme Manager interview questions

I applied through Google careers section and a recruiter contacted after couple of weeks and post that 3 rounds of discussions completed over 4 weeks period. After that I didn’t hear back from the recruiter for next three weeks. One day he suddenly called and mentioned that the position has been kept on hold and my profile was forwarded to some other team. I was supposed to have another discussion with a senior engineer but what really happened was hiring manager round. After this they took nearly six weeks time to come back and update me that an internal candidate was selected for this position. It was sheer waste of time for me.

Applied online (with internal referral). Got the invitation for the recruiter's screening in about 10 days. Recruiter was sharp, efficient and on-point. The invitation for the first interview round followed. All very professional, with the recruiter's support. Interview itself was a disaster. The interviewer was very dry (borderline rude), it was by no means a conversation, rather felt like a police interrogation. Minimum eye contact, interviewer was just taking down the notes. Questions for the role in the particular team were theoretical and very generic (at some point I even got worried, that they confused the interviews, and that one was for a different role). Also those questions had quite little to do with competencies listed in the job description. Interviewer seemed to be clearly disappointed that I did not have experience with "multi-billion projects that are of Google scale", even though this was not a role requirement and my resume does not say that I do have such experience. About 20 minutes into the interview I wanted to finish the interview myself. The few questions that I had about the role/team were answered in generic 1-2 sentence (nothing more detailed than the publicly available information). As the interviewer did not show any interest in me as a potential candidate, this is why I am not surprised by zero of follow-up from the recruiter (even though this is something that is a regular step in rejection). I am not sure if I will want to apply to Google again, but one thing for sure -- I would not want to be my interviewer's teammate.
