I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Apr 2015
Interview
Interview process was very smooth. Got a call after 3 days of submitting my application. Had a phone interview, one interview through Google hangouts and then 1 on-site interview. Didn't get an offer but the experience was great.
The whole process took 3 weeks. Phone screening was very easy. Standard project management questions. The on-site interview was a bit difficult but this was expected. They check both critical thinking and technical skills (i.e., software skills).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard project management questions. Pretty easy and straightforward to answer. For the on-site interview I had to sign an NDA but it was technical and it required thinking for real-life applications.
Good interviewers that ask a lot of questions to gauge your domain knowledge. Do not feel daunted because they just need to know your thought process. Speak more and out loud. Think out loud.
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.
