Mountain View, CAPosted Dec 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interviews kicked off in a pretty awkward way with scheduling problems.

It took nearly two months to finalize everything, and every time I shared my availability they asked for different days that didn’t align with the timeframe originally requested. Once I cleared the first phone screen, I was moved to a virtual round with two engineers on a Hangouts call.

The scheduling glitch showed up hard there too: I was booked for three consecutive hours, and after finishing the first interview I had to sit and wait for more than an hour until the second interviewer joined. Eventually I realized the invites were set up incorrectly and didn’t match the actual interview
