Google has one of the absolute worst interviewing processes I have ever experienced. I've been a software engineer in the silicon valley for 13 years and have interviewed at many startups, midsized and large companies. Never have I experienced the slowness nor the level of absurdity with the types of questions asked in a Google interview. These guys take themselves waaay too seriously and think that they are God's gift to humankind. If "Googlers" would stop trying their darndest to weed out quality folks with questions that appear more like undergrad software engineering quizes and look at what the candidate has done and ask them questions based on that as opposed to some clever question that invariably results in using a HashTable they might stop losing so much ground to FaceBook.

Recruiter reached out to me, we had an initial conversation, then I had to take this online behavioural assessment which was a requirement to get to the first round, which is the manager round. Once I passed that, I was scheduled for my first round with the manager. Yes, this role is technical, but don’t be like me, who focused all their energy on perfecting technical knowledge of GCP. Your first round will be a bunch of scenario based customer facing questions. Focus on understanding enough to talk fluently about network design in GCP, VPC, Subnet, PSA, PSC. And how to manage customer expectations Onprem to cloud connection solutions, vpn, interconnect. Good luck and I hope you experience the joy of landing this role that I hoped for.
