I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Charlotte, NC) in Feb 2020
Interview
45 minute interview. 4 scenario based questions were asked and it was left open for questions to the interviewer. Person who interviewed was also a Technical Account Manager. Interview was video based via Google Hangouts. Updated by the recruiter by phone 3 days later that they were going to pursue other candidates and are unable to share any feedback but will reach out when other positions come open.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you have a client that made a request that you take back to your team and the team says “we cannot do that” how would you handle responding to the client

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me, we had an initial conversation, then I had to take this online behavioural assessment which was a requirement to get to the first round, which is the manager round. Once I passed that, I was scheduled for my first round with the manager.
Yes, this role is technical, but don’t be like me, who focused all their energy on perfecting technical knowledge of GCP.
Your first round will be a bunch of scenario based customer facing questions. Focus on understanding enough to talk fluently about network design in GCP, VPC, Subnet, PSA, PSC. And how to manage customer expectations
Onprem to cloud connection solutions, vpn, interconnect.
Good luck and I hope you experience the joy of landing this role that I hoped for.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2025
Interview
The recruiting process was managed by Randstad on behalf of Google HR and it was a horrible experience. So much so that I'll never apply to Google again. Four interviews total; initial role-related knowledge, general cognitive ability, role-related knowledge 2 & googleyness/leadership. The last three interviews involved questions completely out of left field which had nothing to do with the actual role. I’ve been hired by and worked at Amazon Web Services before so I know how to handle difficult interviews, but this experience was a total joke…a complete waste of 3.5 hrs.

The first round interview was with someone on the team based in a different state. They asked a range of technical scenarios to gauge my understanding of the relevant technologies required for the role on the Google cloud team
