It begins with a goat sacrifice, before you are ushered into the temple. From there, a lady named “June” who goes by the title “creative resource manager” will ask that you look through the roof of the temple, toward the stars. If you can identify Orion’s Belt, then the job is yours. If not, you will be ushered into the hall of the non-believers, where you too will be offered up as a sacrifice.

Either that or you’ll meet with some folks, discuss your work, prior experience, reasons for wanting to work there and goals for what you want to achieve. Then you’ll come back in for another 1-2 interviews if they like you. Then you’ll either be offered the job or they’ll pass on you for someone who’s a better fit. You know, like every other agency.

It depends on your level and the account. But usually a phone call with Dana followed by an interview with an ECD and two CDs.

Great thanks a bunch. I'll report back.

A phone call with Dana? What? Thats a joke, right?

That’s what I had

like

As stated on this thread, it’s pretty straightforward. You get screened by Dana and then usually the ECD makes the final call. Though you’ll probably meet some ACDs along the way to help the ECD decide.

Thanks all. I was wondering more if it's a chat or two, or 5 rounds of interviews and a test? Ha.

How’d it go?

Haha - interview went nice and got invited to the next round. Then they came back and said they've head hunted a different team instead. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sounds right.

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else. Recruiter told me that she will let me know if any other opportunities arise as I’m still in the running and haven’t been rejected. I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?

I’d love to prance around too without following the rules but I’m just trying to eat.
