Interview
1st Recruiter's interview 30min with knoledge awareness checking questions
This interview was not a screening step. It's kind of 1st round of technical interview. Recruiter asked lots of questions on various CS background.
2nd Co-worker's technical interview
Interviewer asked lot's of question based on the my background but not asked variously and question didn't match with Job Description. Their job description is looking for the person who have experience with AI/ML data processing and analytics such as like Keras, AI platforms. Interviewer strongly focused specific subject and asked me about Kafka for 10 mins. He seems that he wanted to reveal my weakness and asked only that.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (París)
Interview
I had an initial call with the recruiter, whom was really friendly and nice! He explained the process for moving forward.
I had an initial interview based on a technical screening regarding Networking routing & switching
After passing the interview, I was invited to the onsite interviews which consisted of 3 rounds.
My results were mitigated according to the recruiter, so they added 2 additional interviews, I aced the technical interview which consisted of Role knowledge as well as Troubleshooting skills, unfortunately I failed the Googliness and leadership, they said that I passed all of the requirements except one which led to my rejection.
The whole process took about 3 months and it was very stressful and disapointing in the end. They invited me to reapply in 6 months.
