<p>Just got an email! I have an 2 phone interviews lined up!! :)</p>
<p>I still have not heard back and I applied in November. This is so frustrating since Google is my number one choice, but I havent heard anything back yet. The deadlines to accept my other internships are coming up as well.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any advice for interviewing with the Large Client Services team?</p>
<p>what sorts of questions does the Product marketing department ask? I have an interview coming up in a few days.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Got an email a couple of days ago for phone interviews with People Operations. Applied right before priority deadline. Interestingly, they want one of my phone interviews to be done via Google+ hangout. Anybody else experience this? [Not complaining at all though, gives me a chance to smile and use body language.]</p>
<p>Does anybody know how long it takes for them to let you know about an offer from the time after your phone interview?</p>
<p>Should I just give up hope on hearing back? It’s now been over 4 months since I applied. Has anyone else still not heard? At this point I’d be happy to get a rejection email…it’s better than nothing</p>
<p>What types of questions (i.e. examples if you can lol) did they ask on phone interview???</p>
<p>i haven’t heard back yet… applied right before priority… have lost hope but would love some sort of communication?</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten an offer yet on the forum??</p>
<p>hey, i did the on site interview about 3 weeks ago and even though they said they will get back to us in about 2 weeks i still havent heard back.What does this mean?</p>
<p>If you have a conflicting deadline, email them. I had a conflict and they got back to me within a week.</p>
<p>@Publius What did they say ??</p>
<p>Just got an offer!!! Excited!!!</p>
<p>hi mates,
grats for everybody who got an offer.
I have found some useful tips on recruitment process:
[Codility:</a> Bible Of Internships - How to find a great job at Google, Facebook, Microsoft?](<a href=“Codility Blog – Tech Recruitment News & Articles | Codility”>Codility Blog – Tech Recruitment News & Articles | Codility)</p>
<p>Still haven’t heard anything about the internship. I applied in early November and have 2 friends who have received rejection emails and another who has already received an offer. I went on the FAQs on the Google Bold website and it says that due to the high volume of applications, they will be giving status updates on May 1, 2012. Hopefully I will hear something before then. Anyone else in the same boat/ have any more details? The lack of communication isn’t reassuring.</p>
<p>@gKerwit
I am in the same boat. I am the only one out of my friends who hasn’t heard back yet. It is highly unlikely that they are still looking for candidates tho. I just wish they would communicate better.</p>
<p>@Amarch53</p>
<p>I am having the same thoughts, although it can’t be totally true if they have anticipated for months that the latest they would inform us is May 1, 2012. Do you know what you selected as your preference? Do you think the departments we listed have to do with when we hear back? (Maybe some contact for interviews sooner than others?)</p>
<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>I have just joined this forum after going through the whole discussion about the Google BOLD program. I’m surprised to see that even though so many people participate in the discussions here, share their fears and doubts, ask questions and so on… very few care to come back and share their experience with other nervous candidates. But what they obviously don’t forget to do is post the oh-so-modest, “hey, I got selected!!!”</p>
<p>I think a community is called a community because people in it help each other. This is the only place on the web that actually discusses this program, why not do that well? I request people who have been through the interviews to PLEASE share their experiences along with the joys or sorrows.</p>
<p>About myselfI have just been selected for the Google India BOLD program. While the BOLD program elsewhere talks of non-technical roles, I received a mail today saying, "This program includes three main components: a software project, skills-based training, and professional development. We will have BOLD Interns hosted in both our India Engineering offices - Bangalore and Hyderabad.</p>
<p>That means that you will be working on a software engineering project. Hence, the next rounds of interviews will be about your Computer Science and Programming skills. So please be ready for questions on Data Structures, Algorithms,Operating Systems and short coding problems - the sort that are asked on TopCoder and other such sites. There is no preferred programming language so C/C++/Java/Python are all acceptable."</p>
<p>NOW I find myself confused. What do I prepare forstuff like Google’s business model and products, or DS, algos, OS etc.? Heck, even though I am a CSE student, coding in any form is not what defines me! I wonder if this is what they want, why did they select me (on the basis of my resume and essay)?</p>
<p>If anybody here can throw some light on this issue, I’d be very thankful. I don’t want to rote-learn these topics just to get this internship. I was excited to be contesting for it because in its non-technical form, I felt it so me.</p>
<p>P.S: The program doesn’t seem to be made strictly for the URMs. Why, a guy in my class got selected too. And here in India minorities in the tech sector PRIMARILY mean girls, as far as I know.</p>
<p>A major mistake in my last post!
I haven’t been selected for the program. I have only been shortlisted in the first round. Ha! How I wish!</p>
