      Patent Docketing Specialist Interview

      Oct 11, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2011

      Interview

      I applied online and was interviewed on the phone twice. The first interview consisted of 1 question. The woman who interviewed me was 20 minutes late calling in and then was rude and short on the call. The second interview lasted about an hour. Again, the man interviewing was late calling in and VERY rude and short. The interview was very difficult and they make you feel very stupid.
