Brief phone screen interview discussing my background and how it could fit the open position. Interviewer was courteous and up front about the type of background they were looking for. I was asked to discuss the experience listed on my resume and why I was looking to move to a new position. I was also asked if I was speaking with any other companies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many people do you directly manage on a daily basis? What type of systems do you oversee or work on?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Only made it through initial phone interview, was not fully prepared so the interviewer recommended requesting another interview in a few months. Next time I'll make sure I'm more prepared and ready to answer the more technical questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Jun 2014
Interview
11 interviews, none of them related to who you are but rather a series of pre-packaged exercises tailored to see how you perform at them. People who interviewed you were generally unaware of who you'd spoken to before (even from HR) and what they're looking for - in general a lot of them were more junior than myself and had no interest in any of the things I'd done to date or what the role description required, they were going by the generic title that they had.
