J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en juil. 2017
Entretien
Four sets of interviews.
First: Technical, lots of cloud technology questions, architecture questions, deep diving into what you know vs what you don't when it comes to Google Cloud Platform.
Second: Leadership questions. How would you react to X situation? Tell me about a time when X happened and how did you handle such?
Third: Googly-ness interview. Basically, a personality test to see if you are a good fit for Google. Lots of questions about prioritizing tasks and organizing your daily workload.
Fourth: Two presentations. You can choose between two fictitious scenarios:
Scenario 1: Web Serving: Autocomplete
Scenario 2: Big Data: Aggregating and Analyze Doubleclick Data
Deliver a recommendation & working demo for a Google Cloud Platform based Solution.
Second presentation can be on anything you prefer. Literally.
Questions d'entretien [4]
Question 1
How do you manage your time? What would you do if all of your customers called you at once? How would you prioritize who is put at the front of the list and who is last? After prioritizing customers, how often would you re-evaluate your prioritization?
Leadership questions. Lots of theoretical questions such as, have you ever been in a situation where X happened and how did you handle such? Give an example of a time where you made a decision and it turned out badly, how would you handle it differently? What do you like most about your current/previous job? What did you like least?
In the presentations, the last portion of the interviews, you need to provide a working demo and defend it against a group of individuals who will question you on it. It's ok to say I don't know, do not make things up because they will immediately fail you based on such. You are much better off saying you need to research and get back to them or you need to engage X to help you with that as you want to provide the proper answers. It's basically role playing. I did learn if you don't have a working demo or one they approve of, the interview is pretty much over.

Entretien
The interview process went quite smoothly with 4 interviews (one of them being a presentation). It was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. I passed the interviews and got a positive feedback, but the role was put on hold for months and then cancelled so overall I was disappointed. However, once you pass the interviews the feedback remains available for 12 months for similar roles at the same level, if one opens up in the same location.

Question 1
Typical behavioral questions + general cloud knowledge. The technical questions were very broad
Recruiter Screen followed by technical and behavioral interviews. The questions were simple. However, I got a feedback that I need to repeat RRK round only after 6months for similar roles.
