I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
I had a telephonic phone round with the Google Cloud team.
It was disappointing as the person asking me the question had very average communication skills.
At the end he asked me if I had any questions. And his answer was ' a a get to solve problems'. (That's it)
This was the saddest interview I have ever had. I asked his name and was able to Google him and was some 45 to 50 years old who had recently joined the Google Cloud team as TPGM.
I have heard Google is on hiring spree and have hired many employees but with such average communication, why are they allowed to even take interviews

Question 1
Questions were typical telling me about a time and behavioral.
No coding interview.
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.

Question 1
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.
