Google Step - Engineering Interview Experience - United States
October 2, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I had to wait two months to get my results back. The recruiter was not responding to any of my emails, despite my pinging them multiple times.
I just learned that they quit Google, so the recruiter was not laid off. Extremely unprofessional.
