Googleyness and Leadership Interview Question

Hi everyone, I really hope this video helps. I really went into the weeds on this solution, I hope my thought process helps!

Hi Jeff, I have a Google interview in 2 days and I’m preparing for behavioural and hypothetical questions.

I would like to ask if it’s okay to ask for some time to structure my thoughts throughout the hypothetical question? Meaning after asking clarifying questions > (more time) > assumptions > solution > (more time) > success metrics and pros & cons. The recruiters mentioned it’s okay to ask for more time but not sure how often I can do so?

Thanks for your insightful videos! 👍🏻

Do you suggest we provide multiple solutions?

Hi Jeff, what wud be few example of success metric and action plan ? Cud u throw some light. tks

Have my googleyness interview in (checks the watch) 4.5 hours. I hope to nail it!!!! Thanks so much for the insightful content you create. It's helping thousands of aspiring candidates like me who want to be part of Google..

QQ, sometimes I miss to add important points that move the needle (may be data or broad scope and scale) and I realize it later. I feel I have done more than I am able to talk about. Even though I write stories and prep, I still miss to share them during the interview. Any suggestions/guidance you can share?

What happens is Due doesn't clarify anything

I am in India and I've applied for a job at Google London. Will they take me to London at their own expense if I get through the Hangouts call?

THANK YOU for such amazing content Jeff. I watched several of your videos, especially for the CGA and G&L interviews and I nailed them thanks to you! I wanted to thank you personally as I got hired and will officially join Google soon!! YEAH! 🙏

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your amazing contents. I really appreciate.
Tomorrow, I have the L&G interview that it is final on-site interview.
I will leverage this video and get the good score.

How about if the interviewer says "I don't know the cause, that's what you're here for". That can happen. I advise to introduce a Root Cause Analysis in this answer (if the role is related to Process Improvement or Process Excellence), with 5-why method and a quick Cause & Effect diagram you can find the root cause , presenting the root cause in your assumptions and then apply a solution to it.

Jeff, I wanted to thank you VERY much for all the content you share on your channel. I have just had Round 1 of interviews - RRK, GCA, G+L -, and learned that I did very well at GCA and G+L. The info you share on your channel is responsible for a lot of that. Thank you!

but whats the time and space complexity of this answer?

HI Jeff, amazing content as always! Really have been learning and absorbing your content for the last past weeks. Today I will have my googliness and leadership interview. Wish me luck! And always supporting your content!

This video is great! Thanks so much and it helped a lot. I just want to comment on the video quality itself: I'm not sure if you camera is set to follow your face or it's on an unstable mount or something, but definitely I find that the background keeps moving constantly as you talk. This is very distractive and make me lose focus on your presentation. I literally have to hide the video while listening to you. I think it would be much better to set the camera fixed, so the background is fixed and viewers don't get dizzy trying to absorb what you are saying! Thanks for your attention!

Jeff, been following your content for the past few weeks. Thanks for providing such incredible value and insights, I am extremely grateful. Have my final G&L and GCA interview for Prg Mgr. role tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I have my Googleyness interview in 30 minutes. Thanks for the video, it gave clarity..

geeeezzz, I would hire you on the spot! NEVER have I heard such good and detailed responses.

The Google Idolatry is quite a strange phenomenon. Poor naïve nerds hoping to be validated by a brand-name. The mere fact there Exists an idiomatic expression “googlyness” Elicits vomit to my mouth. Google gets to leverage this cult following and put them through some goofy display of their worthiness. That is nutty. The lucky winners of this self flagellation then get to be lowballed to carry the moniker on the LinkedIn page. Then you come along and monetize it for your own self benefit and that too is gross.

Regarding the interview process, are we allowed to send thank you notes to every person we interview with? Or is that something that’s not recommended?

Wow, I've got quite a bit of practicing to do if I'm going to emulate that at all during my interview in a couple of days.

Thanks for the content, time to get back to my notes.

Hi Jeff, I want to bring in one more aspect in this question. In a negative culture, performance of team is bound to get affected and this would show in numbers done by team (come from a sales background), I believe that makes sense to create awareness of the negative performance impact this kind of culture creates on both professional and personal front.Professional as you miss on metrics and personal because you are always putting energy in strategizing against team mates or extra pleasing your boss rather than investing time with client or process.

Thank you so much for the content Jeff! Starting my role in 15 days! 😍

Hi Jeff, I wanted to thank you for your precious and helpful content. I got an offer from Google just before the Christmas holidays. So excited about this new experience! Wish you a wonderful 2022! Thanks

The best answer it is your own experience and how you solve it. No theories.

Hi Jeff, thank you for uploading, I think its great content and I appreciate the time you take to upload these. I have an interview coming up soon for an associate finance analyst role. Its the final round (3 30-min interviews), do you have any tips on the kind of job-related questions? What kind of GCA questions do you think I can expect? I appreciate it if you could share anything that could help, and I also appreciate your time.
Thank you Jeff!

Jeff, thank you so much for all these videos. Thanks to you I've made it all the way to the comp phase at google!

Hi Jeff, thanks for the enlightening content, as always. Learning a ton and figured I'd at least leave a comment to show gratitude. I'll definitely let you know if my current interview process gets a happy ending. Thank you!

Hi Jeff,
What are the Cloud roles in Google which does not involve Coding ??

Wonderful, thank you very much

Shout out to Sue! I have my GCA and G+L interview in about 10 hours. Thanks for the videos Jeff.

Hey Jeff,

I interviewed with Google about 10 days ago, these were virtual onsite interviews. I hadn't heard anything back so I emailed my recruiter. They said they have not yet received feed back from my interviewers so they are unable to tell me anything at this time.

Will interviewers always give feedback regardless of the outcome or will I only hear back if I am receiving a job offer/moving on? If a certain amount of time passes (for example 3 weeks) does that mean my chances are not looking good?

Thanks for all the Google interview content. They are a great help for anyone prepping for the process!

Helpful! I have my G&L interview in about 30 minutes, so very timely!
