Main tips:
- If you're interviewing for a specific area, know that area in & out for both Google & competitors (know latest product releases, read blogs, etc)
- You should have received the evaluation criteria they're assessing for the job ladder you're interviewing for. Prepare examples that demonstrate those behaviors explicitly
- Be ready for a case interview (I don't think Google does brain teasers anymore)
- YOE is a key factor in deciding at what level to hire you. Make sure you are comprehensive in that regard, it might bump you up a level

Thank you, this is super helpful!

Similar to above, but you need to have a very good understanding of the Google business and products. This is very distinct from any other S&O roles I’ve interviewed for, which were more focused on general logic and structure. I interviewed at Google and didn’t know the ins and outs of one of their core businesses and it was a train wreck.

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

YOE- 6
CCTC- 8
