I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Zürich)
Interview
Many delays and waiting times. Outsourced most of their HR staff. For simple rejection, you wait months. A lengthy process with too much competition and high expectations. The selection process was very poorly conducted in terms of many people going through unnecessary interviews.

Phone screen. I got rejected after the phone screen. It was easy but I was not prepared. Interviewer was chill. Basic questions. I don't know how I messed it up. Shame on me !
