I applied to a senior manager role (while being a Director in one of the Big 4). I had several interviews with the recruiter and a hiring manager. My resume was determined to be a good fit for the role and the interviews went very well. After the last interview the recruiter reached out to and asked if I would be interested in a junior analyst role on the same team I had applied to as senior manager. After I stressed that I had 15 years of work experience, c-suite executive exposure and managing tens of people, the recruiter told me that Google does not consider my first 10 years of experience as relevant experience. If this is the case Google could have determine the misfit in an earlier stage of the process and not waste my time in vain. I declined the recruiter proposal and terminated the hiring process.
