Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google nel mese di ott 2021
Colloquio
3 interviews and recruiter chat:
Recruiter chat - overall discussion about interest in the role and experience
General Cognitive Ability - go over mainly hypothetical questions, and how you would tackle them
Googleyness and Leadership - mainly focused on behavioral situations in the past
RRK - more technical interview, meant to gauge your fit for the role
The GCA and G/L interviews were fair and pleasant, yet challenging. The interviewers were based in France, and they did a very good job of being collaborative and engaging, but also questioned you on points to test the strength of your answer. I left the interviews feeling like they were people I would enjoy working with.
The RRK interview was very different. It was with 2 customer engineers from the Madrid team, and it felt like I was interviewing with a completely different company. The tone of the call was dry, and it felt like an interviewee vs. interviewer environment. The only feedback provided from this interview was regarding two questions on data engineering concepts and their definitions, which can be googled in 10 minutes, so it's difficult to imagine how these types of questions can help gauge someone's future success in the role. I finished the interview with the impression that, culturally, the Madrid office was quite different (if not inferior) from the rest of the Google offices in Europe.

For the GCA and G/L, they were mainly hypothetical and real-life scenarios, and how you would handle them.
RRK - starts with sales-related questions, like how you would handle working with a prospect to migrate technology to the cloud; moves on to technical questions, mainly terminology and definitions; and finally an architecture diagram question based on Google Cloud.
Note: it didn’t seem like there was very good coordination between the recruiting and interviewing teams on how to handle the architecture diagram remotely. The recruiting team provides a Google Drawings doc with instructions, yet in the interview, it didn’t seem that they were not aware of this option and even suggested approaching it with pen and paper.

The interview process went quite smoothly with 4 interviews (one of them being a presentation). It was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. I passed the interviews and got a positive feedback, but the role was put on hold for months and then cancelled so overall I was disappointed. However, once you pass the interviews the feedback remains available for 12 months for similar roles at the same level, if one opens up in the same location.

Typical behavioral questions + general cloud knowledge. The technical questions were very broad

Recruiter Screen followed by technical and behavioral interviews. The questions were simple. However, I got a feedback that I need to repeat RRK round only after 6months for similar roles.
