I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was referred by a friend for a sales position at the Dublin offices. The process began with a a friendly conversation with a HR rep. The second interview was a sales pitch that lasted 20 minutes on the phone - a good knowledge of Adwords is required for this. Finally the onsite interview consisted of three different interviews, first with the manager, second with someone on the team and finally a HR manager. The final interview is by far the toughest and they really try to grind you down, stay firm and confident is all I can say!
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.
