      Legal Department Interview

      Mar 19, 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2008

      Interview

      I would describe the interview process as a big letdown. I was so excited to even be considered for such a prestigous place. First the recruiter did a phone interview and asked me to come in to meet with others. On the day of the interview the recruiter didn't come into work and didn't even bother to email or call to let me know. As a result I sat in the conference room alone for 30 minutes waiting. I was right near one of the famous cafeterias so the building had an sadly familar smell of school lunch. Too much food lying around for my tastes, it looked sloppy, collegiate and the people I met with seem so bored by the whole thing. I really got the feeling I wasn't worthy. I knew I had the experience but something was off maybe that I had attended a State University in California. I have 20 years experience but they put a lot of emphasis on GPA. A lot of young workers in bean bags chairs who looked overfed and who can blame them with all the freebies? Some of them are really crossing the line with such casual dress wearing pajama bottoms beat up flip flops, no need to run a comb through your hair for the office any more? I didn't get any follow up and never heard from the recruiter again. Perhaps she is one of the ones recently laid off because she wasn't too much into her job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Are you sure your GPA is over 3.0? Because we get a lot of people and find out later they don't have even the 3.0.
