J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en juill. 2012
Entretien
Got through the initial recruiter interview. They will ask you to rate yourself in different technical areas of expertise. Don't exaggerate! The recruiters are not technical, but they will close with asking you questions from a sheet they have based on your answers to the expertise question. The higher you rate yourself, the tougher the questions.
Did that fine. Got to the first one-on-one technical interview, also over the phone. VERY technical, not much small talk. Questions were about explaining how traceroute work and displays timing numbers. Forgot the second one, but not too hard.

J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Singapour) en févr. 2025
Entretien
The interview process started with a quick phone chat with a recruiter about my background and why I was interested in Google. After that, I had a technical interview where they asked a mix of system design and troubleshooting questions. mostly focused on Linux, networking, and automation. Then there were a couple of panel interviews with engineers who wanted to see how I think through problems and work with others. The last step was a call with the hiring manager, which was more about culture fit and what kind of projects I’d enjoy. Overall, it was pretty organized but also challenging. they expect you to explain your thought process clearly.
