Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google nel mese di lug 2020
Colloquio
It was the worst interview ever! The interviewer makes a condescending remarks about a procedure that I was explaining during the interview. Not every company is Google and not everyone spends the same amount of money on data procurement, alright! Be humble Man!
Then he gets distracted with a text on his phone. Seriously? Do you even realize the amount of time an interviewee spends preparing for an interview?
Asks a question about data bias perhaps? He is himself not able to explain when I asked clarifying questions.
At the end, when I asked for feedback he gives me a positive feedback but the outcome is negative.

Domanda 1
1. Write a code to generate random normal distribution and plot it.
In the technical round, I faced a challenging A/B testing question regarding YouTube thumbnails that pushed my analytical skills. I was also asked to discuss metrics for evaluating user engagement, which had me thinking on my feet. The behavioral section was tough, but I found the principles I studied on PracHub to be incredibly relevant. The overall experience was intense and demanding, yet I received an offer in the end. Ultimately, I decided to decline, as I felt it wasn't the right fit for my career goals.

Domanda 1
Design an A/B test to evaluate the impact of a new YouTube homepage thumbnail design on user watch time. How would you choose the success metric, sample size, and handle novelty effects?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience

Colloquio
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
