I’m interviewing for a Google role, head of security ops. Any ideas or suggestions on what to focus on? How difficult are the interview questions? I’ve been researching the org and working on examples. Would appreciate tips.

I will give you some tips as a Google interviewer.

1) focus on the questions being asked.
(It’s good to answer only to the question and not just talk in hope to get the right answer. Giving much more details than needed, it’s a minus for the interview. If you are unsure, if your answer was short or not, you can always ask the interviewer if he/she needs more information. Trust me, if he/she needs, will let you know for sure. )

2) Be yourself.
(Try to stay relaxed, positive and smile. First impression is always great. Of course not the outcome has nothing to do with the first impression.)

3) Prepare and study from YouTube, Google search and other sources about interview questions being asked and published.

4) Don’t try to cheat, or look from a second monitor any answers. We are really good at detecting that 😅

5) Good luck on your interviews

Thank you this is really useful. I have been watching lots of videos on google interviews. A bit overwhelmed honestly. Are the GCA interviews really that difficult?

Depends the interviewer. Some of them likes to do it difficult and some of them easier. But in general we have to follow some policies and some standards. And yes the selection is strict. Just prepare, focus, and be yourself.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
