They mostly pertain to how you would manage a diverse team of highly intelligent people and how would you balance metrics management vs people management. They look a a lot at people management skills. I had 2 phone interviews of 30 mins each and then an onsite where 4 people interviewed me. By the time the process was finished i was already settled in a new job and didnt take it. Good luck. you can email me at smitha.iyer@gmail.com if you have any more questions. jake

Can you give me any details about the first phone screen? I can only find information pertaining to the more technical roles at Google. Thanks very much!

I passed the fist interview without any problems. I am having the second one scheduled for next week. Do you have any idea on how many interviews you have to go through with them? It's a pity what happened to you, but as I say, some things happen for a reason (: Thank you! I passed the fist interview without any problems. I am having the second one scheduled for next week.

Unfortunately I didn't get the job for some strange reasons. After the second interview, they said they are interested and want to do the next interview. After waiting for a couple of weeks, another guy from Google contacted me. He said that they are not interested with me any more. It's kinda of strange because they changed their mind within a couple of weeks. I think it is because the HR guy who handled my case was changed. @Katarzyna: Good luck for your job interview.

Is it really so much different from any other firms? So, how did it go, did u get the job? Thanks and my time is running out - 2 hours to the phone call. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
