I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out and asked if I was interested in a TPM position as he found my profile on a professional networking site. I did the screening interview with recruiter, he started the call by saying he didn't know why he called me because he didn't have enough information and I needed to update my profile. He then asked about my experience and if I coded--I said no, I do not code. He said the role required someone who could code. So, figured that was the end. He called back 2 weeks later to set up a phone screen with the TPM. I questioned it because I don't code and he indicated that was a requirement. He wouldn't provide me with the job description or any other information when asked. Merely stated HM was informed of my background and experience. I didn't pass the phone screen and he wouldn't provide feedback when asked about the areas of concerns. I asked about another position more aligned with my background and was told I cant apply again for a year. Overall bad experience.

Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
