I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
- Sent my resume through the Google website, for an internship position
- After a few days I received a phone call, asking me if I was interested in an interview by phone...I reply "Yes" with enthusiasm
- We agreed to a date and time for a phone interview, where I was askied basic questions about Linux System Administration
After this...silence for 2 months. I kept sending e-mails asking for an update, they replied politely but still no final answer.
After 2 months the final answer..."Sorry, but we decided to take somebody else".
In the end they ruined my career, because when I received the first phone call from the recruiter, I turned down a secure offer for an internship with Sun Microsystem. My fault, but partially also their fault...I expected them to be fairer and more professional.

Question 1
Please describe what happens from the moment when you switch on your PC, to the moment when you see the Linux login prompt...
I didn’t get an interview because my resume must not be a fit. I also don’t grind leetcode so idk. I hope in the future I will be a SWE FANG hype beast
The interview process involves long, complex processes and extensive candidate analysis, with plentiful of interviews, screening rounds, and evaluations. Although it was very organization and able to know the status, the entire process was quite extensive, looking for the right person.
