I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied online and one day I got a mail followed by a call from HR.She was nice and arranged for a telephonic interview. The interview went well and I answered pretty well and I had high hopes. But the HR never called back . So I assumed that I didn't clear the interview. After 2 weeks the HR suddenly mailed telling she got the feedback and she will call me in 2 days to discuss the further steps. Its been a month and no one ever called. Since she told she wants to discuss further steps , I assume i cleared the telephonic interview. This is depressing since I think I cleared telephonic round for my dream job and no one ever called back . THis is not done google
