Google Onsite Interview location (Seattle vs SF)
I am about to schedule an onsite interview with Google and I have to pick the location. Are there any particular reasons I should elect one location over the other? Some theoretical factors that I can think of are: 1. Seattle interviewers are more cloud focused 2. Seattle has a higher chance of video calls, opposed to in-person (bc Seattle has smaller office) Any advice?
I don't think there are video calls in interview. Seattle has enough ppl to do recruiting.
I did onsite loop at Google Seattle and two out of my five interviews were over video. They told me they do it to ensure the hiring practices are consistent across the board.
Video calls can be a bit challenging if your interviewer isnโt able to read what you are writing on the whiteboard. Having said that, I had two video calls as part of my loop and both went fine.
I donโt think itโll be any different.
