I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process went quite smoothly with 4 interviews (one of them being a presentation). It was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. I passed the interviews and got a positive feedback, but the role was put on hold for months and then cancelled so overall I was disappointed. However, once you pass the interviews the feedback remains available for 12 months for similar roles at the same level, if one opens up in the same location.

Question 1
Typical behavioral questions + general cloud knowledge. The technical questions were very broad
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in May 2021
Interview
Process took roughly 7 weeks and was fairly smooth from 1 stage to another.
Due to the pandemic all the interviews were done remotely over the phone and via Google Meet.
The interviewers were all relatively friendly and nice, the recruiters were all very helpful where they could, but as usual did not provide feedback on a failed interview.
The interview I got were;
1. Recruiter screening over the phone - 15mins = General
2. Technical screening with Customer Engineer over Google Meet - 30mins = Technical
3. Hiring Manager & Customer Engineer Interview - 1hr = Behaviour, Hypotheticals & Technical
4. Leadership and Googlyness - 45mins = Behaviour and Hypotheticals
5. GCA - 45mins = Behaviour and Hypotheticals
I believe I failed at the GCA but the questions weren't hard, the interviewer did not give much away during clarifying questioning or reasoning.

Question 1
How do you manage two team members with conflicting ideas?
Recruiter Screen followed by technical and behavioral interviews. The questions were simple. However, I got a feedback that I need to repeat RRK round only after 6months for similar roles.
