Hello fishes, anyone knows how interviews at Google and Microsoft are? Got approached by recruiters from both and curious what to expect. Currently at a Big4 (if it matters) and would really want to move. Thanks in advance for any input!

Microsoft is fairly standard - recruiter screen - Hm screen - on-site (3-5 interviews) - offer.

Google is weird - recruiter screen - hiring manager round - on-site. However, post on-site they’ll collect your feedback and present it to a hiring committee. Sometimes if feedback is amazing they’ll skip this step - or if you were really bad. If the hiring committee passes you, you are then put into a matching phase where interested hiring managers will reach out to you for one last round before offer. This whole process can take forever
