The Process is smooth and you are informed of the next steps in a timely fashion. Recruiter was easy to work with and always communicated well in advance.
However, Google probably only wants Linux Admins, not the people who have other varied skills. They should add job description for TSE as "Linux Administration"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview is difficult because questions were all related to Linux Administration. Nothing related to my expertise and my experience did not matter at all.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Google (California, MD) in Feb 2026
Interview
Went fine, didn't get the job. The questions were really difficult and they did not give me time to prepare. I don't think they were very good at interviewing. Would not recommend this place to interview at
Great people and challenging questions. The process included about an hour with HR, followed by a second round with the team, making for a well structured and engaging interview experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process from start to finish was approx 3 weeks. After the final interview within 8 hours I received the job offer. I, however, declined it as I accepted a position elsewhere.
