I did Google phone screening interview. They told me they need at least full 4 years of experience at big 4 to be considered. At the time I did not, so they followed up with me one year later (after I reached 4 years at big 4). At that time, I already was determined to make manager before leaving big 4 and told them about it. They said they will keep me in their talent pool and will follow up later. Super chill and relaxed talk with Google recruiter. Nothing to be afraid of!

It's nothing to brag about, it's not a job... It's an initial screen... The recruiter said 2 45min screen... It does not sound like pure behavioral to me. That sounds like the main interview already. I don't know what to expect and glass door is not much help.

How many years of public accounting experience do you hav r

Manager 1- did you get the job?

Don't interview from your bedroom. It's creepy. Don't hold your phone in your hand if your using your phone. Your interviewer will get sick.

Not true about 4 years. I know 2 people with 1 year experience at big4 that went to google
