J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 7 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Menlo Park, CA) en juin 2016
Entretien
I did interview with 5 people, mostly pretty young, with not much experience.
All five interviewers asked me the same exact question and none of them asked me what I actually do today, which was pretty odd.
The interview style was pretty casual, and I did enjoy all conversations. I left thinking that it went really well, but thinking back I had no idea how they could understand my real experience since none of them bothered asking what my responsibility and current job is like.
Overall I had the impression they were looking for a pretty junior position.
When I got home I concluded that I was not impressed and that I wasn't willing to move there. The facility was ok, nothing special. The food was average cafeteria food. Most of the people I talked with didn't seem to really love working at Google. One of them said that it was just ok. When I asked about their specific job most of them did something that was less challenging and interesting than my current job. People I talked to were not all the geniuses I expected.
So, I wasn't going to accept the job, but I am kind of bummed that I didn't get offered the job either.
Overall it was an interesting learning experience. I am glad I did it and that I kind of dismantled a big myth I have been building from years. I would recommend anyone to try it and judge on their own.
The interview process felt quite unprofessional.
HR emailed me on the same day and asked me to choose an interview time that day, which felt very unreasonable and gave me almost no time to prepare.
After the phone screen, I was supposed to interview with the hiring manager, but the coordination seemed to missing something.
No interview was scheduled, and I only found out something was wrong when I followed up during the interview week. I then received a last-minute calendar invitation.
After the interview, there was no follow-up at all. I finally received a rejection email about a month and a half later.
Overall, the process showed a lack of respect for candidates.
The interview process has been pretty smooth. Their HR team is super friendly and helpful throughout the process. Although I didn't get an offer, it was a great learning experience.
