J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Londres, Angleterre) en sept. 2012
Entretien
I got contacted from a recruiter. I passed the initial phone interview where they asked me some very basic questions. The next stage was a Technical Phone Interview which was also easy. They basically wanted to verify if my curriculum vitae was true or not. The last stage I've done was an on-site interview. It was tough because it lasted 5 hours. It covered both theory and practice. My impression is that they want prepared people with good knowledge on Linux internals, a good scripting ability and a good attitude in large system design and troubleshooting.

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.
