I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google Cloud in June 2022
Interview
Interview with HR about basic soft skills and experience and later interview more technical with another Program Manager.
The process should have include another step with higher manager but I did not arrive to that step.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience in complex program? How did you go over your tasks to satisfy the customer?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google Cloud (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Lengthy and tedious, and the fact that the panel interview was an all or nothing situation, where if one person didn't approve of your moving forward, you didn't move forward. As opposed to a majority.

Question 1
How I would approach starting a local coffee shop.
The recruiter was very efficient and straight on to business. Sent me over to the hiring manager. The hiring manager was late a few minutes, joined the video, and then asked for a few more minutes to finish up something. Okay, no problem. Then we go off with a laundry list of questions—absolutely no talk about the role, no introduction, nothing. I try to make it into a friendly conversation, but I am swiftly cut off with yet another question. The hiring manager was continually looking all over the screen and obviously doing some other work while I speak. The interview ends with me asking a few questions and finishes off right on time. I look up the hiring manager and see that he has less work experience/GCP knowledge/education than me. The rejection email comes the very next day.

Question 1
Just a very simple laundry list of project-related questions off the job description.
