Glean Data Scientist Interview Experience — Hiring Manager Round with a Google Slides Metrics Case

Glean·Data Scientist·Oct 2026
HR Screenmedium

The first round was the hiring manager. The first three minutes were my self-introduction, plus the HM explaining what the role would be doing. Then they moved on to resume questions and behavioral. They asked about the project I'm most proud of, which cross-functional stakeholders were involved, and what the impact of the project was. They also asked what I would do differently if I did it again.

After that they gave me a case: if you were the DS for Google Slides, which metrics would you track, and why? If you had to pick three of those metrics as KPIs, how would you choose?

The last part was statistics. "Suppose there are two random variables X and Y. How do you calculate E(X+Y) and VAR(X+Y)?"
