J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en juin 2011
Entretien
I was recommended by a friend. There was a long lag (~3 weeks) and then I got a call from a recruiter out of the blue. She brought me in for 3 interviews. Each interview focused on differnet things: Domain expertise, analytical abilities, etc. The interviews went well and the hiring manager wanted me to come back for additional interviews. Then a long silence and finally was told that the position was filled by an internal candidate. Big waste of time in the end.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Let's say we wanted to build a service to index all the images in the world. How would you think about the cost to do that?
J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Kirkland, WA)
Entretien
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
