The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview had 3 rounds with different Google staff to evaluate your past experiences, knowledge of the role, and overall Googlyness. The questions were direct and designed for the interviewer to have you answer using the STAR method.Candidate-reported process
It dragged on for more than 4 months and I had 4 interviews…it was really drawn out. Getting ready for each one was stressful and took hours, and in the end all I got was an email from the recruiter. I don’t know if I could handle doing that again. I don’t think it’s worth it.Candidate-reported process
Weakness - get nervous during interviews. Strength - encouraging, optimistic (Pi Phi new mem, “most likely to make u smile”). Faced adversity. Took initiative - song. Challenge - Teamwork: group project. Failed - Succeeded - song.Candidate-reported process
