Applied online (with internal referral). Got the invitation for the recruiter's screening in about 10 days. Recruiter was sharp, efficient and on-point. The invitation for the first interview round followed. All very professional, with the recruiter's support. Interview itself was a disaster. The interviewer was very dry (borderline rude), it was by no means a conversation, rather felt like a police interrogation. Minimum eye contact, interviewer was just taking down the notes. Questions for the role in the particular team were theoretical and very generic (at some point I even got worried, that they confused the interviews, and that one was for a different role). Also those questions had quite little to do with competencies listed in the job description. Interviewer seemed to be clearly disappointed that I did not have experience with "multi-billion projects that are of Google scale", even though this was not a role requirement and my resume does not say that I do have such experience. About 20 minutes into the interview I wanted to finish the interview myself. The few questions that I had about the role/team were answered in generic 1-2 sentence (nothing more detailed than the publicly available information). As the interviewer did not show any interest in me as a potential candidate, this is why I am not surprised by zero of follow-up from the recruiter (even though this is something that is a regular step in rejection). I am not sure if I will want to apply to Google again, but one thing for sure -- I would not want to be my interviewer's teammate.
