Google Administrative Assistant interview questions

I have 3 friends who work at Google so they warned me ahead of time that the recruitment process is incredibly slow and sometimes unreliable. I applied for the Administrative Assistant position and within a few days received an email asking to schedule a preliminary phone interview. The preliminary phone interview asked pretty standard interview questions- why do you want to work at google, what google products do you use, etc. Nothing tricky. The next day I received an email saying I passed to the next step. The next step was also on the phone, and involved a problem-solving test. A recruiter called me and the call lasted about 30 minutes. He asked me a bunch of questions about how I would go about solving problems in hypothetical job situations at Google. He also asked me one question about my past experiences, something like "tell me about a time when you went above and beyond your assigned duties." One week later I received a call saying that I did very well on the problem solving test and that they'd be in touch soon with next steps. I was super excited because this problem solving test was supposedly the hardest part in the whole recruitment process. Another week went by and the recruiter called to say she didn't have any information regarding next steps yet but would be in touch again soon. I eagerly waited for more info. A few days later she called saying that the team had "revamped" the profile they were looking for in a candidate and that I was no longer a match for the position. She said that since I did so well on the problem solving test, that was proof that I was a solid candidate to work for Google and that she'd keep my application on the active roster and would let me know next time a position opened up that I'd be qualified for. YEAH RIGHT. Thanks for wasting my time and getting me anxious and excited over nothing, you fools.

First phone interview was specific questions on what you do at work. Second phone interview was job situational
