Google Technical Account Manager interview questions

After 1st round of screening through phone and 2nd round of interviewing with a potential manager, I was brought to final round of interviews at the actual NYC office. The final face-to-face interview consisted of meeting 4 senior level Googlers from different departments. Two were through webcam conferences and two I met in person. Recruiter was very nice and walked me through the process diligently. One thing I didn't like about the process was that although the recruiter told me that Google was trying to avoid those off-the-wall difficult crazy interviewing questions, I was not prepared for some case interview and estimation type questions that I had not prepared before. They were keen to try to find analytical qualities in me and since I did badly on those case-type questions, I feel like I was not able to show those qualities adequately. If I knew they would ask market-size questions or case questions, I definitely would have read a book or two beforehand to prepare more. The decision process after the final interview actually took 1~2 weeks which sounds shorter than it seemed at the time.

I felt the recruiting/HR process was messy and my recruiter didn't communicate with me very well. I tried to ask questions along the way to help me prepare, but her responses were short and unprofessional. The phone interview was pretty average and lasted for maybe 30 minutes. I heard back within a few days to schedule an onsite interview with 3-4 people. I ended up only having 2 onsite interviews since the third person was on a vacation. My recruiter was a no show, so someone else helped me out. The technical interview felt off topic for the position and didn't go well. Overall, the process made me like Google less and I wonder how a company this big can have such a flawed process. After my messy onsite day, I was assigned a new recruiter who was very helpful, so I guess it was just bad luck! Since I like Google and the products, I'd apply again!
