Gosh.. this thread already 15 years. Time flies.

Fyi. I managed to reach their final interview 2 times during 2016 and 2018. At Singapore

But still the hunger for job placement never fade away.

Nice, i had the pleasure of visiting the Google HQ in Singapore and it was really awesome as an office. Really breathtaking.

Not really at all, my friends working there have a great work-life balance. Plenty of time for family time and also going on holidays.

Sad that Google doesn't want to expand their operations to Malaysia. Only for marketing.

Why do you say that? Have you been to their various offices at KL Sentral (hint, they have more than 1 office). Plenty of different roles available there from YouTube, Google Cloud (new growth segment) and Google Workspaces besides the usual advertising and marketing areas. Just that Google has frozen hiring in quite a bit of countries

Ah, really? Last time I checked which was years ago, they were only hiring marketers.

Guess lots of things have changed since then.

The roles are not usually advertised and they target top talents in the region to join the fray. A lot of the roles are recommended in by internal Googlers.
