I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Phone Interview. It was 45 minutes scheduled, but the person on the phone was so busy typing all the answers that , he hardly engaged in an conversation. He seem to be in a hurry and wanted to get done with this 4 questions as soon as possible and type every damn thing i am saying. I have no idea what he understood as he was not interested to respond nor acknowledge my ideas and thoughts. The interview completed in 27 minutes and he gave m2 2 minutes to ask questions. This was one of the most ridiculous interview i ever attended in my long career. What is the point of typing while i am talking ? why not use google voice and record everything i say ? amazing. I will never ever apply to google again.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2024
Interview
6 rounds with recruiter, team member and 4 rounds in a day- system design, cross-fnc, googlyness, and RRK. Almost every round was a mix of behavioral/situational/technical questions, so be prepared to answer questions like 'when was the last time you helped a friend & why did you think it was imp'
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Long and lengthy process going through ~8-9 interview and then hiring freeze ended the process. I completed the interviews so can still match over the next year. Hopefully hiring freezes stops by Q1.
Multiple interview rounds, from behavioral to technical, starts with recruiter, then couple of interviews with engagement manager, then with multiple team members of different teams. The process was well thought and judged the candidate on multiple fronts
