Hi all,
I have my first round interview at
Google coming up for the Strategy & Operations Lead role and was hoping to hear from anyone who is working at Google or has gone through the process on what to expect for the interview format. I reached out to the recruiter to ask whether the first one would be GCA/hypothetical questions, behavioral, role-related knowledge, leadership or googlyness and they basically said to prepare for all 4. Aren’t each interview set up to focus one mainly one?

I was tempted to apply for this. What is your background? If you don’t mind sharing.

Sure. Customer strategy and corporate strategy.

Depends on team - interviewed for GTM. Each of the four rounds were half behavioral and half hypothetical. The interviewer was assessing role/level/gogglyness throughout.

Go to market. There’s no right answer and felt like my case responses did a good job of showing structured thought.

Questions were related to market expansion, product competitive advantage, cross-functional collaboration, and advocating for a solution without formal authority.

Have you heard back?

My interview is early next week. Wish me luck!

How did you get the interview calls

What do you mean?

I meant Interview call from Google.
Was it a reference or you applied or they reached out.

If you mean how long did it take for the recruiter reach out…I’m not sure as I have been applying since late Nov/early Dec and am not sure which applications triggered a review followed by an outreach for a different role.

You can DM if this is still in progress and you need any help. I am currently at Google (StratOps). Wish you the best regardless!

Hey are you still w GG? I'm interviewing for a similar role. Can I DM you?
