I applied through a recruiter.

The process took two weeks.

I interviewed on the phone in September 2015. The interview process consisted of a single round. I spoke to a manager on the phone. He was fairly friendly and, even if the position was primarily about testing, he asked me a technical design question, which I answered.

He did not seem to really understand the technical aspects of what I was explaining, so I doubt he was a competent manager. He also seemed hesitant on the technical aspects of converter design.

During the interview, I heard whispering behind him, so I think he was taking direction on what to ask, an indication that he was an "acting" manager.

The overall phone interview went well, but the process stopped after a single phone call.

According to the recruiter, Google chose another candidate. However, a few days later, I received a message from a different recruiter for the same job with the same code, an indication that Google may not be playing a fair game. I saw this position posted several times over the months. The description is about the same, but no one ever fills the position.

How do you scale down the input of an isolated converter?
