In Hardware Operations: Good work-life balance, lower pay, not really treated like the rest of Googlers.
Management uses Operations Technician contractors as repetitive manual labor after giving them the high-level interviews that Google is known for. This causes a lot of dissatisfaction and turnover.
Increase compensation. Don't hire smart people for dumb roles, as they will get bored.
Reached out for an interview, skipped the phone interview. On-site interview: * Five 45-minute interviews * One 45-minute lunch with an employee (ungraded) in the middle. They will reach out to you a few weeks later with the results.
First, I introduced myself for about five minutes. Then, the interviewer asked one easy question about arrays, followed by more conditions that may have used a heap or binary search.
The interview was easy. The technical questions are no harder than at the average company, but they really talk up their interview process to candidates before the interview. They sent an email with "tips" that was longer than 1000 words.
