The exact comment from a Sr. vP was you're 1/2 way through the process we think you'd fit here.

Shit or get off the can, after 11 interviews I can make a decision why can't you.

I rode the wave, was internal at Microsoft 1996-2002, you don't sell me that way, I expected an offer not another trip to CA and more interviews. Wasn't worth it.

It's an interesting company, but very immature in the back and middle office

Yeah I don't think google lives up to the hype. Interview you for director roles then ask you which coding languages you know.... dafuq? The smart's been watered down and only the wanabie cool tryhards are left. Also, good luck :)

Went through Google interviews a few years ago, got offered a functional role and declined it. Know their products, have ideas about how to improve them, and know your behavioral questions. In the "tech" phone interview, I had to explain a tech solution in simple terms using analogies. In the final rounds in CA, I remember getting on the whiteboard a lot to explain solutions or how I'd think about a problem. Good luck!

It's via hangouts. Also have never done a video interview so curious how that experience was for people

I did one for a manager role in financial ops services. Was extremely boring and the senior manager asked behavioral questions. Also replied to one of my questions- here at Google we have a pretty open culture. You can schedule a meeting with anyone to talk about an issue- that seemed like the worst reply ever

So don't sweat it. It ll be underwhelming

@k1 I'm interviewing for a similar / the same role. Thanks for the advice

Went through 11 interviews and 3 trips to CA (for a VP position) yanked myself, gave them one of my employees, she got hired as a director and been there 4 years

Why did you yank yourself a1?

Think I'm interviewing for this job as well next week. Good luck!

Is the role for the project and process manager ?

@ey3 yep. @a2 thanks!
