I had a pleasant time interviewing with everyone but unfortunately their team matching processes is terrible. I got matched to 2 different teams and both times the interviewer did not follow the interview format I was informed about.
Since I already passed all of the technical and behavioral interviews, I was told that the team matching interview would be more of a conversation where I can ask more questions about the team. Instead, both times the interviewer asked me technical questions and had me come up with research study plans on the spot. This is not a problem for most interviews but when you’re explicitly told that you will not have to to that, it creates a poor experience
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Menlo Park, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Applied for the position online and got contacted by a recruiter within a few days. The recruiter set up a phone screen immediately and went over the logistics. She passed along my info to the scheduler for them to set up the interview with a team member. Had the phone interview after a week or so and was mainly asked about my previous projects, my experience with different methods, etc. I waited for another week to hear from the recruiter that the team they'd matched me with did not have immediate openings so they decided not to further pursue my candidacy.
The recruiter was highly professional, friendly and communicative. The interviewer I talked with seemed busy typing notes for the most part and did not express much enthusiasm. Had some awkward silences in between. He didn't introduce himself (or was not supposed to) and the questions were mostly prompted on the spot or rolled out according to my answers. Wish I had more say in the team choice.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Aug 2025
Interview
Tenho 12 anos de experiência, entrevista bem difícil, muitos testes e perguntas técnicas. Experiência em código não era mencionada, mas acabou sendo necessária para passar, pois Phyton é algo esperado lá dentro pelo menos em um nível básico de conhecimento.

Question 1
Descreva como você usaria Python para analisar dados de uma pesquisa de usabilidade e extrair KPIs relevantes, como taxa de sucesso, taxa de erro e tempo médio de conclusão.
Hiring assessment - online personality style test, had to complete multiple situation based questions. The amount you get depends on the role, I got ~60. Questions were trying to gauge how you'd manage conflicts in terms of integrity, organization, quality of work, collaboration, etc.
