I applied about 2 weeks ago and am still in the interview process.
I applied via themuse and was invited to take a 5 min video "interview".
I had to answered 5 questions where I was given 5 seconds to prepare before they started to record you with your answer to the questions. You are given 30-60 seconds to respond to the question before moving on to the next question, you cannot redo your answers! I highly suggest doing your research before starting this interview. Reading glassdoor reviews and doing a lot of research on the company and what to expect during the interview process is what helped me get my invitation for a google hangout interview that came after the video interview.
This is the stage that really threw me off. Since I've read so many wonderful reviews about the company and how "employee focused" they are, I expected a much nicer and more personable interviewer than the one I had. My interviewer had no interest in what you had to say about yourself. She went through a checklist of questions and didn't make any effort to go into more detail about your experiences. It was as if I was speaking to a wall and she just spat out the next question for you to answer.
Preparing for each step of the interview process really made me excited about the company and motivated me to try my hardest to receive an offer but unfortunately after the google interview, I am having serious doubts about the company and the environment.

Question 1
nothing unexpected, just do your research and you will be okay
I went through 2 rounds of interviews before deciding myself not to move on after the second. The first one was a standard behavioral one, recorded before a screen (might've changed due to the pandemic). The second one consisted of two parts: the first a role play, where I was assigned a case and asked to look for industry experts to answer a question for a made-up client, the second a standard behavioral interview.
