I recently had a virtual Sales Engineer Interview at Google Cloud and recruiter got back to me after a week with feedback saying that I have been rejected. I did clear GCA and Googlyness rounds but second half of my RRK didn't go well. He mentioned that my GCA and Googlyness score would stay valid for a year and within a year I can re give RRK interview only to clear. He also mentioned that in the meantime if I can clear GCP Professional Architect certification that would be a great positive for me in future interview. I wanted to know how much is all of this true regarding both Googlyness and GCA score and also if certification actually helps in future interviews ? Thanks.
Whos your recruiter? I got my GCP Pro Cert but they never gave me another interview
You got screwed
Seriously.. took me 3 months to get that cert
What was asked on interview?
System architecture questions pretty standard
Could you please share what's RRK interview look like? Do you still need to present a solution to specific use case or it's just general conversation?
Specific solution based on use case
Certification will help because you will learn about GCP and then can apply that knowledge in the whiteboard for RRK. Also shows your strong intent and motivation. It’s a requirement for all SE’s to get certified in first 3months in the role so if you get it before joining, you are already ahead. And yes they do hold on to that rating for a year so if RRK was your only weak spot highly likely to get a call back of headcount opens up
Hey this information was very helpful.. I'm leaning towards completing certification now
What were the questions? My son is having interviews next week.
How was ur son interview?
So did they specify why the rrk interview second part didn't go too well or was it your perception
What did they ask in the RRK interview ? Was it like design this and that ?
