Difficult Positive San Francisco, CA

The recruiter screen was straightforward for me—it mostly went over my resume. Then the interviews turned into the real test, and they were tough, especially around GCA. I even had to repeat one of the evaluations because the first attempt wasn’t considered satisfactory, which made the process feel high-pressure.

I had to spend a lot of time preparing, particularly around GCP knowledge. The feedback loop meant I couldn’t rely on general familiarity; I needed deeper, more specific understanding. What helped most was getting support from someone who focused on Google’s interview style, because the way the questions are structured gave me a perspective I didn’t have on my own.
