I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Google (Pryor, OK) in Jan 2014
Interview
Well I arrived 15 minutes early then I had to wait another hour for them to arrive. No one was in the office. The security guard told me towait for them in a building .
When they arrived they where all carrying boxes in and sorting equipment 5 people . The interview started an hour behind no apology was made . When we got into the interview room there were no introductions made by them . everyone looked tired. They asked if I was ready to begin then started asking me textbook CCNA questions. It was VERY CLEAR they did not want to be there or interview me . Either that or they made up their mind earlier as to who they wanted to hire and where just going through the motions . I did not get a fair interview from them . but maybe I Just got unlucky this go around .

Question 1
The question was related to Linux operations, hardware maintenance.
Fairly straightforward interview with basic work related questions. Passed all interviews and ghosted by recruiter. Google uses Randstad recruitment to fulfil open roles and I think this is the main issue
Did my initial interview. Got asked some multiple choice questions about linux and troubleshooting. I got moved on to the next round of interviews. My interviw was supposed to be via video but my interviewer didn't show up. I ended up doing it over the phone.
