I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
My experience with google was pretty bad, the entire process was very hard to navigate through since there was hardly any communication from their end. Post the HR call, we agreed on a time and date for the first round, it was a 45 min round, I waited for 30 mins on the provided link and nobody showed up! I informed the scheduling team about this, it took them a couple of weeks to figure out a new slot, this time as well the interviewer was 10-15 mins late to the call and was having a meal during the interview process! Anyway we did complete the 45 min round and there was no communication post this even after multiple follow-ups, I got to know from the status updated on the portal that I have not been selected.

Question 1
One mistake you made in the current role, how did you manage the situation and learnings from the same
It was long and drawn out. The interviewers seemed stressed and in a hurry. I was asked the same line of questions throughout the panels, and in two I was asked the same questions over and over again. I asked for clarification of the questions but the questions were not clarified.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Dublino, Dublino) in Sep 2024
Interview
Quick 20 min pre interview giving me the rundown of the interview process and requirements. 2nd interview with the hiring manager. The job involved a lot of event management which was not outlined in the description but luckily have event management experience. Little discussion on the kinds of programs being made. Hiring manager was a very good interviewer, they were transparent about frustrations internally which I appreciate.
