I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Dubai) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied online through their website and a few months later I received an email that informed me that I was shortlisted for the position. Several emails went back and forth to agree on the time and date and the interview was done over the phone with the Marketing Manager in the Dubai office (where the position is based). The final decision was delivered to me via phone call from the HR in the London office.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
the interview was done in Arabic, I think it was to test if I could speak Arabic, but all the technical terms of business are all in English and so is my education so it was a bit difficult to assume that an entire interview can be done in Arabic
The questions were not unexpected as they were just concerned with how you market your favorite Google product but the way they were asked just threw me off.
4 rounds, phone, in person site visit interview half day of interviews, break in between, culture fit, strategy, leadership, experience, case study, scenario based questions, generic personal questions about myself like strengths and weaknesses
the process lasted 6–8 weeks and includes a recruiter screen, phone/video interviews, potential case or presentation, multiple onsite rounds focused on skills and culture fit, and a final hiring committee decision.
