J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en déc. 2017
Entretien
Had a video call with one of their recruiters in London. The recruiter I was due to interview with changed 45 minutes before the call. Clearly he had a busy day and didn't want to do this interview which was covering for a colleague. Very short and rude, trying to wrap up the call as quickly as possible. The role was an 11 month contract, they don't hire Recruiters permanently (so I'm told, well not until you get in there and prove yourself anyway) so are always looking to churn through contractors. I suppose Google would look good on your CV but is it worth it to be treated so poorly, contractor or not.

Question 1
Tell me the 10 things you would ask a hiring manager when taking a job brief
What are 5 attributes would you attribute to people who work at Google? After my answer for this I was asked to rate myself out of 10 on those attributes.

Smooth sailing. The recruiter was communicative and kept me up to date throughout. Pretty clear the teams here are packed with smart people. Googleyness interview was actually quite fun, but the GCA one was pretty tricky.

Entretien
Structured, rigorous, and well-organized process with clear evaluation criteria. Thoughtful interviewers, strong focus on problem-solving and communication, smooth coordination, and a professional, candidate-friendly experience throughout. Really enjoyable process overall with friendly and approachable interviewers.

Entretien
I applied, then had a recruiter screen. After that, I went through two interviews focused on sourcing and stakeholder management, followed by a virtual onsite with four interviews. Each interviewer tested one competency. Maybe there would be more stages but I didn't pass the fourth one.
