Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Austin, TX) in Jun 2015
Interview
Recruiter for Google called and we scheduled a phone interview. Phone interview went well and then nothing. When I called the recruiter back after a week she said that I had "too much experience" and that they wanted someone with only a few years experience but in only one or two jobs at the most; basically someone who is very young, fresh from college. Age Discrimination but of course hard to prove.
1. Recruiter phone screen - super easy standard questions to make sure you're a fit for the role.
2. Phone call w hiring manager - Will ask you to intro yourself and explain why you want to work for Google. Will dig deeper into your answer and ask follow up Qs.
If moving on to the 3rd round:
3. Meet with team on-site
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself and incorporate why you want to work for Google
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Standard phone screen, phone with someone on team, onsite with sales leader, another onsite with a PM and VP and a mock preso to a panel. Next, another phone interview with someone outside of the team/department.
Between these interviews, multiple calls with my recruiter to prep and build a presentation. Exchanged emails with hiring manager about how well I was doing in my interview feedback, etc.
By now we're at week 5 of this process and informed not moving forward, welcome to apply again in six months, but zero feedback as to what I was lacking.
Seems to be a lack of consideration for the time of the people doing these interviews and the people interviewing. Never seen a process like this for a sales role in tech.
