I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2016
Interview
Contacted me after finding my resume online. Typical interview for a tech company. The first call were some basic screening type questions. The second interview went more in depth. The questions weren't very difficult but the interviewer didn't seem to understand the material enough to judge my answers. Anything I would answer off script seem to throw him off. Gave up about half way through.
