I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Feb 2020
Interview
I got the interview via employee referral. The entire interview process took about 5 months. I passed hiring manager phone interview, went onsite after 1 month. Then recruiter said there was one interview I failed. So they arranged a follow up interview that focused on cross-functional collaboration and dealing with project ambiguity. Then got feedback from the recruiter that I didn't pass that follow-up interview.

Question 1
Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
