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.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Brazil) in May 2025
Interview
It was a strange process. There was a gap of weeks between one interview and another, with me being interviewed by the Partner Engineering team manager who mentioned that originally the position was for her team, but she negotiated it for the Customer Engineering team, and also the manager of that team was on vacation and couldn't interview me. In the end, the recruiter said the position ended up being frozen.
