Contacted by a Google recruiter on LinkedIn. Had an initial conversation about the position and agreed to move forward. Had to block my calendar for 10 different interview windows. They said no worries, they would schedule interviews asap. They didn’t. The first interview was scheduled, canceled, scheduled again. They asked for more scheduling windows which I wasn’t willing to provide as I couldn’t afford to block my calendar for weeks on end. We had the first interview. Felt it went well. Recruiter completely ghosted me after that. Checked in once a week later and no response. Waste of time.

Question 1
Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Ámsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
