Had a first interview with Google and bombed it. Was mostly focused on marketing cases , marketing plans etc. (wasn’t really expecting it). This was for a S&O role. What’s the best way for prepare for future interviews? Sorry if this is a really stupid question but gotta start somewhere! Looking at S&O roles in big tech (non-Amazon) . Thanks!

Did they give any indication it would be marketing focused?

No- it was supposed to be behavioral or at least that’s what the recruiter said. But probably no excuse for me.

Round out your skills and try again

I think it could be both. In my experience interviewing for tech S&O roles you absolutely need the strategy skills and the analytics skills (beyond excel, you need to know advanced modeling/forecasting or how to use cte’s in sql). But in a tech case, a consulting case framework could help you get organized but you need a good grasp of the business vs high level knowledge

like

Was this for the Strategy and Operations Associate, Marketing role or APMM S&O? Either way Google makes most of its revenue from ads and marketing. So for future S&O interviews you should try to figure out what specific team is it for and the company’s long term vision. Ex. You would prep for instacart s&o vs. LinkedIn s&o differently but framework remains the same.
