I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Zürich)
Interview
Da ich Erfahrung in Security habe, habe ich mich auf Google Jobs für diese Position beworben. Der Prozess war sehr schnell und zielgerichtet. Ich wurde am zweiten Tag von einem Recruiter kontaktiert, der mir ein Vorstellungsgespräch mit jemandem aus Kalifornien (Techniker) vorschlug. Der Anruf fing mit einer kurzen Beschreibung der Stelle und des Teams an, und danach bat mich der Interviewer, meinen Lebenslauf durchzugehen. Danach haben wir rund 30 Minuten lang über verschiedenene Praxissituationem diskutiert und darüber, wie man gezielte Angriffe aufspürt, ohne die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für die komplexen Bedürfnisse der Google-Programmierer zu beeinträchtigen. Nach zwei Tagen kontaktierte der Recruiter mich wieder und teilte mir mit, das Interview sei gut gelaufen, und ein zweiter Telefoninterviewer würde Kontakt mit mir aufnehmen. Das zweite Interview war irgendwie gleich, nur schwieriger. Nach einer Woche kam eine Antwort vom Recruiter, der Prozess würde nicht weitergeführt, weil des Feedback vom zweiten Interview nicht ok gewesen sei. Insgesamt war die Erfahrung aber sehr interessant.

Question 1
Analysieren Sie die verschiedenen Szenarien gezielter Angriffe. Wie kann man Malware aufspüren, die sehr gute Verschleierungsfunktionen hat?
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2008
Interview
The interview process at Google is long and tedious. Initially, a recruiter from Human Resources contacted me and put me through a phone screen. She warned me that the process would be long (could take several months). I had two follow up phone interviews with managers. One of them was relevant to the position where the manager asked about my career goals, etc. and the other was just a bunch of random questions to test my thought process.
I was inivited to an on site interview. I met with several employees and the hiring manager. I was asked a number of IQ questions/word puzzles and had to respond without a paper or pen to work through my answers. Traditional interview questions were also asked. The employees were very friendly, as was the manager.
I did not receive a response directly from Google stating that I did not get the job. I waited a couple of weeks and contacted the recruiter myself, at which point she told me that they cut me off. I wish they would have let me know right away.

Interview
A pair of phone interviews and some on site interviews. The questions were very fair, challenging, and stimulating. The recruiter was extremely helpful. The recruiter was very helpful and let me know on each step of the way how I did and what was thought of me. When I got through the interviews, the packet process began and I thought my rather bare resume wouldn't make it through the committees but it did. Champagne was enjoyed.
