I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Riverwoods, IL)
Interview
I had 2 rounds of interview, the first one went well and the interviewer was quite patient and had a good 30 mins discussion. The second phone interview started well but ended quite awkward as in response to one of my questions interviewer started boasting about google and how good google is with the tools as compared to my employer - quote “google is not same as other companies like ...(my company) , google is a product company and has built lot of tools etc etc...., and at the end told me “best of luck for further interview process”. Both interviewers joined 5 mins late.
Two process interview. was not clear. first interview with recruiter which thought it will go well. second with Hiring manager which was not clear what was asked or needed. Not sure why went through this.

Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
