Process
The process took over three months, from initial contact to offer.
I was reached out by a PM and then went through four interviews.
The interviews were mostly behavioral, focusing on "tell me about [xyz] work experience." They were not too difficult.
The first two interviews were quick, but the last two took a long time to schedule because they were with high-ranked managers at Google.
I received an offer, but was not happy with the compensation package, as it was below Bay Area standard salary – really, Google?
However, I accepted the offer for the experience.
Questions
