Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter, who walked me through the steps.
I first had a phone screen, and then went on site in Mountain View a couple weeks later.
I had two technical interviews in the morning, followed by a casual lunch and two more technical interviews.
I then waited a couple of weeks for the results and was told that I did not get that job. However, I was offered the chance to apply for another role at Google.
At that point, the process (which had already taken over a month) started once again with phone interviews. I did not get past these phone screens.

- 5.0Great Interview Start, Nothing NegativeSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesSeptember 26, 2024Pros: Started the interview process, and it's going great.Cons: Nothing yet for the interview process.
- 4.0One of the best places in the world to workSite Reliability Engineer • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesMay 1, 2009Pros: It's a company with a conscience, and the Dilbert-esque moments are rarer than at other companies. Plus, the food is *amazing* (at least in the larger offices).Cons: Long hours, high stress. Depending on which part of the organization you are in, expectations can be wildly different for the same job level. Promotion is a very tricky path and is done by committee. Decisions from them seem arbitrary and hard to justify. It seems to have become an unwritten rule that not seeking promotion over a 2-3 year period is unacceptable.
- 5.0It is pretty greatSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesFebruary 3, 2019Pros: Cutting-edge code ecosystem that is always improving. Great culture and people.Cons: There is always a new tool to adopt because the old one is deprecated.
