      Telecoms Engineer Interview

      Mar 1, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2010

      Interview

      Had eight interviews in total with Google for a Telecoms Engineer role in EMEA. Very poorly organized and conducted interviews with lots of irrelevant questions. Negatives: Recruiter messed up the dates/times of most interviews. Voice quality was terrible on the phone. Call was dropped several times during the interview due to a technical glitch in Google's PBX... remember that this was an interview for a Telecoms Engineer role. Lots of young enthusiastic but conceited people. Iirrelevant questions were asked. I felt like they are looking for a project manager+software developer when the job spec was clearly written for a Telcoms Engineer. Positives: Food and beverages were provided during the onsite interview.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      You are in a room with 3 switches which correspond to 3 bulbs in another room and you don't know which switch corresponds to which bulb. You can only teleport to the room with the bulbs and back once. You can NOT use any external equipment (power supplies, resistors, etc.). How do you find out which bulb corresponds to which switch?
