I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Extensive, multiple phone call rounds and video call interviews. Not too bad but seemed to lack a sense of direction. Poor communication from HR during the process. Overall average experience.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you identified a quality issue in a manufacturing process and how you resolved it?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Phone interview was not too technical, and more about my background and manufacturing consulting projects I have led.
Onsite was rigorous, met with several senior people, including hiring mgr.
Feedback from recruiter was they wanted greater depth in my answers. Trouble is, they never ask for more info/details, they will just be silent. SO AWKWARD. If I am to be judged on depth, would help to know, so I could adjust during interview.
