Process
Everything is OK.
The interviewer was very nice. However, the behavioral round included a lot of questions about leadership, such as how to deal with situations where another team might take credit.

Lost its culture
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
September 5, 2024
Pros: Google has some of the smartest people, and excellent systems and processes to help them succeed.
Internal tooling, training, etc., are top-notch. There is lots to learn at the company, and it's worth spending 3-4 years there just to absorb everything it has to offer.
Cons: The company has completely lost its great culture and what made it so cool, fun, and special to work there. Fun projects have been killed, TGIF has been discontinued; nothing feels bold and ambitious there anymore.
