I was approached by a Google recruiter through LinkedIn for a position that was outside of my career interests (Backend). I had an introductory phone call with this recruiter, and we agreed that they would forward my information to another recruiter in charge of the position I wanted (Embedded Systems). I received an email from this new recruiter a few days later.

I spoke with this new recruiter, and we scheduled a phone technical interview with a Software Engineer. The recruiter who set up my technical interview kindly provided me with some guides and articles to prepare. There are plenty of other guides available to help with the Google interview process. Both recruiters were kind and very professional.

A few weeks later, I had the technical interview with the Software Engineer. It was conducted over the phone, using a Google Docs document to contain the program I was asked to write. The interviewer was kind and clear about the question being asked. This process lasted for about 30 minutes.

A few days later, I received an email from the recruiter with the decision, feedback from the Software Engineer, and recommendations for future interviews.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience with no issues. Make the best of your time to prepare.
