A Google recruiter reached out to me two weeks ago and we had a quick screening call after which she signed me up for a phone interview with a PM. Before the phone interview, she sent me an email asking for references within Google and describing what to expect during the phone interview. I gave a few references. I gave those people a heads up too. I had my phone interview yesterday. It went how I thought it would. Got product design questions, I used CIRCLES method in a non mechanical way. The same design question took more than 20 min. Did an estimation question afterwards which I think I did ok on. The interviewer had chip on his shoulder but I didn't care about that. Overall, I think I did ok. I could have done better TBH. Hung up assuming I'm going to get rejected. Anyway, I thought I had 50/50 chance to get to the 2nd round but didn't hear back from the recruiter today. However, the recruiter sent questions to all my references today. Does it mean I'll get the on-site? Or is it simply a coincidence? Are references asked for reco after a successful phone round?
Why so anxious, let it play out, it’s only been a day.
Fair. Thanks
Seems like you did your homework and prepared. Don’t freak out. You’ll probably get good news.
Op @$5.99 whats the update? Did you go further?
Yes I did
That's good. Please share some tips to help me get through phone screen.
I was invited to the Kirkland building instead of mountain view. Does it mean they are trying to put me through Google cloud org?
Something Google pm job post say that one will be considered for any of the listed locations. Dont know from team perspective. Couldnt your recruiter tell you? Btw, did you prepare and needed LeetCode?
I'm a PM so no leetcode. But did brush up on algos and data structures. Got the onsite details so will check with the recruiter tomorrow
Did the phone screens include programming/algo questions? Wish the best for on-site!
No technical questions during screening
How did the on site go?
