I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Tampines New Town) in May 2020
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter for this position.
An hour interview with two different individuals, one with the hiring manager and second with her right-hand man.
The overall interview was relatively easy with the hiring manager, where she is looking more into your attitude and how well are you able to fit into her team's culture.
However, for the second interview with her right-hand man, he drills down on the technical aspects of your knowledge and skillsets. It doesn't have to be relative to the job, rather what you have done in your spare time or at your current job.
The key takeaway from this is not to fumble in the interview. Be prepared to be capable of breakdown your past experience (be it relative or not) and deliver your explanation well to the interviewers. It is alright not to have relative experience but, good to have a great attitude and desire to learn.

Question 1
If a publisher come about revenue dropping compared to previous months but the volume of impressions is still the same, what will you do? What will you look at?
the process is very fast. i got 4 rounds of interview within 2 weeks, and got the feedback right after each round of interviews. sometimes its depends on the chemistry between you and the interviewer.
The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
Disorganized recruiting with random meeting invites with no explanations. Interviewer wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed to not care at all about the interview. The feedback call after the interview sounded like recruiter was reading an AI generating summary of the interview, which felt not personal at all. Overall awful experience.
