Behavioral Other
Overall, I went through 4 stages - 3 for the Ann Arbor, MI office and 1 for the New York office. There was a nice mix of behavioral and hypothetical questions from Googlers who I probably wouldn’t have worked with directly. One of my interviewers felt disengaged so I had trouble building rapport and it hurt my confidence. Before that, I did a lot of research and watched YouTube videos on Google interviews and using the STAR method to answer, but I’d still say I found the questions challenging. I think a big thing is being able to think quickly and clearly.

Behavioral Other
Passed the initial phone screen and then had a manager interview. The manager wasn’t prepared and opened the call by confirming I was interviewing for a New York role, which I wasn’t. We were on Google Meet and had bad audio issues from the beginning that hurt the interview. We didn’t know what was causing it, so I tried troubleshooting and asked if there was a phone number I could call instead. It took several minutes for her to get this number from the recruiter, and by the time we were ready to continue, we were still on the first question but already more than halfway through the scheduled interview time. They were clearly rushed and didn’t let me finish answering the first question, saying “we’re short on time so let’s just move on to the next question,” then quickly read through the rest of the questions, adding all the usual follow-ups at once that they normally ask after you give your initial answer. It was a lot to keep track of, so I had to clarify what they were asking before I could answer each time. Overall it was a very poor candidate experience, and I never heard back from the recruiter even after I sent a couple of follow up emails.
