Entrevista
Converting from being a vendor/contractor to FTE is almost the same as anyone else's process to become a manager at Google... from what I'm ALLOWED to know about it that is.
Long, drawn out, very little information until you need it according to them.
Extremely frustrating and STRESSFUL.
And if that's not bad enough, sometimes you get passed around from HR rep to HR rep and none of them tell you the same thing. One rep told me roughly about the steps I'll need to go through, others won't say a thing except the next step.
Never before has a process taken SOOOO long (1/4 of a year) AND the HR team been so mysterious about the various stages. There's no IP in a hiring process is there? And if there is, we all signed NDAs.
Never before has any company that I've interviewed with NOT shared the information about each step ahead of time. So frustrating for anyone who prefers to be well informed, and are trying to weigh multiple offers simultaneously.
They promote internally how each interviewer is supposed to provide a pleasant experience whether or not you think the candidate is a qualified one. Google ought to think about the experience from a candidate's perspective.
WORST INTERVIEWING EXPERIENCE OF ALL TIME.
And I'll likely get hired.

What is one of the challenges as an Engineering leader?
I ultimately didn't get the job, but process was fair! Interviewer was attentive and clearly wanted to know about my experience and laid out the responsibilities clearly. I've wanted to work at Google for forever, and this process definitely reaffirmed that it is the kind of place I'd want to work.
Interview consisted or remote sessions, 1 hour per session with four senior managers. Interviews were very professional, very detailed note taking. ONly sour experience, one interviewer did not show but did reschedule. Cost - 1 PTO day.
