I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2022
Interview
Terrible experience. Recruiter is outsourced and mismatched the experience and expertise, to begin with. The interviewer was a junior extremely analytical person that had a myopic version of the responses vs. extrapolating experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project where you influenced a technical decision.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Multiple interviews which aim to evaluate different topics and a long interview process. It also requires a lot preparation. Majority of the interviewers were very but one of them has lacked to carry out the interview in an open-minded manner ( I believe she was lacking perspective and opinionated about the skillset of the candidates)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Arlington, VA) in Jan 2023
Interview
It was a very smooth process. It consisted of an initial Recruiter screening. Followed by 3 interviews. Behavioral, Technical, and case study. Interviews were your standard, "tell me about a time when...". Great communication throughout. Unfortunately, I didnt accept the offer.

Question 1
Tell me out loud how you would create something new from scratch. End to end.
