I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Toronto, ON) in May 2023
Interview
I had my phone call interview with the recruiter then 3 interviews length of 45 to 50 minutes back to back by Google Meet. After two technical interviews you move to the latest interview which is leadership interview. That is totally stress free. There you can take a deep breath and enjoy talking instead of the technical interviews which they bombarding you with the questions. Especially Networking part because instead 45 mins he interviewed me for 55 minutes and asked me more 30 questions!
We have server is shutdown and we want to fix dimm error on the server. Previous technician checked the replaced the dimm 1 as it was showing in a boot of server! But the issue still persists! What do you do to fix it?
You have a project. Manager says we have to release it on the specific day. The project is phone app. Your team is 16 people! 7 of them are leaving! You don’t have enough person to release the phone app on that day! Your manager is insisting on that specific day! What do you do?
Very in depth. Lots of different domains covered. Starting from Hardware maintenance, Linux kernel to regular DC Ops maintenance. There were 3 rounds of interviews. Each focusing on different domains.
Interview questions [1]
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.
