Process
The internship interview process involves two 45-minute technical phone/Hangout interviews. The interviewers will focus on your core computer science knowledge, including coding, algorithms, and system design.
I have included interview tips towards the bottom of this message.
These interviews are general in nature, as you are not being considered for a particular project at this stage.
After your phone interviews, your information will be reviewed within one to two weeks to determine if we can move forward.
The final stage of the interview process involves finding an internship project. I will go through this in more detail when we get to that stage.
Questions

- 4.0Good company and culture overallSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Leinster, IrelandOctober 18, 2024Pros: Good perks and amazing managers and teammates.Cons: Culture is changing a lot recently with the layoffs.
- 4.0A short title for my reviewSite Reliability Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandOctober 26, 2022Pros: - Free food - Perks - Travel (sometimes)Cons: Everything else, and the job was stressful.
- 5.0Great place to work, unless you have childrenSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandJune 11, 2008Pros: If you are an engineer, it's wonderful. The place is built by engineers, for engineers. The company's rules, structure, and processes usually make sense, and when they don't, anyone can fix them if they can get enough people to reach a consensus. Promotions sometimes seem very difficult, but are well-earned and very fair.Cons: They don't suffer fools. If you move into an area that is not your strength, you can be penalized. A move from engineering to project management might take someone six months to get up to speed. In that time, they may be given only "adequate" performance reviews. All companies have 'dull jobs' that are hard to automate. Google only hires the 'best and brightest', which means some people can be really bored.
