The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Applied through the career website, recruiters arranged for the first round 60min portfolio presentation interview with a current visual designer at google. The interviewer late for 5 min asked questions about 15min before the presentation and told me that I still have 45min to present. During presentation she stopped me and asked many questions, which was totally normal and I was happy to answer. However she initially told me that I have 45min but after 20 min she said I only have 5 more min and ended the interview 10min early. She even confirmed that she didn’t even looked at my portfolio prior to the interview not even my resume. She was not into the interview at all.
