My resume was submitted by a friend who is already working at Google. I was contacted by email a few days later, notifying me that while I was being passed over for one position, they were interested in talking to me about administrative opportunities at Google. They asked for me to send my resume again, and schedule a time for an introductory phone screen. After the phone screen, I was invited for a second phone interview where my critical thinking would be testing. The results of that phone call determine if my application moves forward to recruiters, or stops.

Role for ABP in the Data Centers. Applied, passed the GHA, didn't hear any updates so reached out to the recruiter and we scheduled a phone screen. Proceeded to the first round interview with an admin. It was not a great experience. She was slightly rude and quite condescending. She had this attitude like she was better than everyone. She was asking hypothetical questions and I responded with concrete examples of how I handled the exact situation in the past. She said okay but I said hypothetically, how would you handle this? Let me repeat the question. She was not interested in hearing concrete examples of how I handled that exact situation. The entire 30 minutes was weird and I was relieved to disconnect that Google Meet! Glad it didn't work out. If she is any indication of what the culture, people, and work environment is like within Google Data Centers, then I definitely don't want to work there.
