Great benefits package. Great products.
Google's once exemplary culture has eroded to the point that many are reluctant to question their leaders' decisions, and it has a catastrophic impact on employees and their happiness. Directors and managers in certain areas have created little empires for themselves and rule as they wish. Not the best environment to be working in, even though the brand and products are still very strong.
Set clear goals for your employees and review them with your management. This way, at the end of the performance period, you are able to review apples-to-apples performance OKRs as opposed to chasing a moving target. Getting high ratings and promotions is nearly impossible at Google, and they are making it even harder.
There were 8 interviews overall. Interviewees must pass the "4 Google Interviews" to demonstrate Technical, Functional, Leadership, and Googliness styles. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with the recruiter and all Google employees.
Structured interview process. Well-defined and based on Google's methodology. Take a look at YouTube content which speaks about how to interview for Google jobs. Several categories are reviewed, among which is the context of being 'Googly'.
I applied a week before being reached out to by a recruiter. They sent me to another recruiter who then managed my process. I reached the first interview with a current software engineer but wasn't able to pass. Everyone was nice to me.
