- Now let’s switch gears and talk a bit about Google’s values and culture At Google, diversity, equity, and inclusion are business imperatives for our employees, our products, and our users. In order to abide by our mission, and to Build for everyone, by everyone, and with everyone, we need Everyone! In order to do that, we need a workforce that is more representative of the users we serve. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has faced challenges that had a profound impact on how we work and live. This is especially true for Asian, Black, and Latinx communities who were already facing social and economic disadvantages and were hit disproportionately hard. To build a more diverse workforce, we’re expanding access to hiring opportunities for underrepresented groups. Some examples include: Building pathways to Google for people with disabilities and veterans through dedicated career resources, including interview advice, hiring teams, and on-demand conversations with current Googlers. Improve leadership representation of underrepresented groups by 30%. And we’re on track to meet this goal, for example YouTube’s Black+ leadership has increased by 23% in 2021.

- Hi everyone. Welcome to our Life @ Google presentation. My name is XXX and I go by the pronouns XX. For those blind or low vision, I will quickly describe myself. I am wearing XXXXX and have XXXX [hair/eyes/skin tone] and my background is of XXX. I’m really excited to talk to you all today. Before we dive in, it’s safe to say that the last few years have had a profound impact on how we work and live. We're listening, learning, and taking action to make sure candidates and current Googlers are supported. For today, we'll take more about life at Google, some of the benefits we offer, as well as elements of Google's culture.

- The internship interview process is a bit more simplified.
- NOTE: Please do not mention Hiring Committee when speaking externally. The internship opportunities we offer for PhDs are the Research Intern and the Software Engineering intern, and you can see here that they have similar interview processes, however the research internship interviews do no include coding interviews.
- NOTE: Please do not mention Hiring Committee when speaking externally. [TECH] The process begins just as it does for UG candidates, except that instead of 3-4l interviews after your preliminary screen, you are given an opportunity to interview with specific teams/projects that have been identified as potential matches based on preferences you submit before this stage.

- STEP applications typically open in September or October each year. Internships are full-time and paid. For first year undergraduate students of a 3 year bachelor degree, or 1st or 2nd year of a 4 or 5 year bachelor degree. Aimed at historically underrepresented demographics in tech. STEP interns are paired with two engineering co-hosts and 1 other intern in the pod for mentorship and support. STEP interns work in all product areas and on production-level code and are in SWE, SETI, and SRE roles. Are assigned a mentor outside of their working group too. Participate in STEP-specific technical and professional development trainings. These internships are available in multiple offices across EMEA but the dates are fixed for all interns - it usually begins at the start of July and is a 12 week internship.
- INCLUDE EXTRA SLIDES ONLY WHEN ROLES ARE OPEN AND AUDIENCE IS VERY RELEVANT The Cloud Technical Residency program is a rotational program within our Cloud business. The Google Cloud portfolio of products is constantly expanding and evolving as we externalize the cutting edge technology we’ve developed to run the world's largest SaaS company, making our infrastructure, software, and processes available to all. As a Cloud Technical Resident, you’ll draw on your technical, communication, and organizational skills to help customers get the most value from their Google Cloud investments. You’ll support customers in all aspects of Google Cloud adoption, helping them accelerate their journey to our platforms and optimize their business and technical operations. Outplacement: Languages: Eligibility: Under a years work experience If you are interested, please apply at g.co/jobs/ctr
- Rotation options vary by year, but these are some of the roles that Residents in the program have had exposure to in the past There are more resources to learn more about the program and rotations at g.co/cloudtechres
- Internships are paid, full-time and the start and end date is flexible. Applications typically open in September or October each year for the following summer entry. Open to all students in their first year of university all the way through to penultimate year who study comp sci or a related technical field. You can find more information and apply for internships on http://www.google.com/jobs/students/. Students should apply for an internship as soon as the req opens as we start reviewing applications on a rolling basis Students can intern in our Google offices globally. When you apply for the internship within a specific region, we interview you generally for our internship program, rather than for a specific team or location although you can indicate a preference. This gives you the flexibility to get matched to a project across any of our products (such as Android, Chrome, Youtube, any product you can think of etc) Internships are paid, full-time and the start and end date is flexible. The minimum duration is 13 weeks Many of our new grad hires are previous interns - opportunity for us to test you, and equally for you to assess us as your potential full-time employer Some people do multiple internships with us without re-interviewing - chance to try out different products within google, or locations etc. You of course need to perform well to get that opportunity
