Google interaction design phone interview
Hey Google designers! I'm going to have a phone interview with a hiring manager next week for an interaction design role at Google. With other companies this part was usually a vidchat for a portfolio review. With Google, it's a background phone call only (followed by a design homework/challenge if all goes well). Any tips for this call specifically? Will it be super conversational and basic? Other than taking through my process and my previous work, any tips for me? I wonder how likely/unlikely it is to not get to the next stage since we're not looking at anything specific. Thanks for your help!
Which team?
Considered for a few roles, not sure which manager I'll be talking to. Do you know anything about the process/call and can share tips?
Phone screen would be general behavioral questions
Dont worry about it. Even if you pass the interview, they’ll tell you that there’s no headcount 🤣
OP, did you get an offer?
Yup. Turned them down for a FB offer tho.
Why did you end up going to Fb? I’m considering both right now (though I *just* started the interview process)
OP - out of interest, what were the technical questions they ask you on the call?
It was web based sruff like: what can you do with HTML 5 that you couldn't with 4. Or when would you use a label or li tag on a website. What could you do to increase performance or decrease load times perceived by the user. And some more stuff like that. It was weird.
Interesting, thanks! After that call, how long was it before they set the design challenge?
