Not a fan of googles hiring process. I interviewed in 2015 and never got past the phone screen. I was given a contrived programming problem, which I solved and explained runtime complexity.

The interviewer called me for the screen about 15 minutes late and then he was upset with me because the google doc link I was given to write code was not the one he was opening. Miscommunication on his end.

He struggled to speak English, which I’m fine with, but his inability to communicate made him get more and more frustrated.

The recruiter never called back. Even if they weren’t going to move forward, a simple courtesy call wouldn’t have been so terrible.

This interview was for an entry level engineer. In less than 4 years, I’m a senior engineer now at another top tier tech company. I don’t think my interviewing skills or coding skills were the problem.

Googles recruiting process is half assed.
