I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2025
Interview
The process was long, after 4 interviews they tell me they where not opening the position, I had 3 technical rounds where they asked me of all the doma is if cyber security including reverse engineering and forensics for a privacy analyst role.
Very basic oral questions, asked about my background along with technical question such as networking protocols, which made the interview harder. Interview is over zoom and if advanced to other rounds in person.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Dec 2021
Interview
The process starts with a Phone Screening, and if passed, is followed by 5 interviews (4 technical + 1 focus on behavioural kind of questions).
Normally the 5 interviews are blocked together, but I got them split into 3 days, as I was interviewed by ppl from different time zone.
The process was very well described by the leading recruiter who was very helpful and supportive.
