I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process lasted over 6 months since I was invited to a backstage event back in September but I wasn't available. I joined the same event in December where I had a mock interview. The feedback was great and I got invited to the real onsite interview, a series of 4 interviews (two iOS and two general knowledge in Java). I wasn't feeling very prepared but it was also my first onsite interview ever so I gave it a shot. I heard back in 2 days about my rejection. Very happy with the process overall.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Sydney)
Interview
I applied through referral. After submitting application, had a recruiter call, then scheduled for an technical interview. The recruiter is very busy and seems to forget me so I email him and chase him down to get scheduled. Interview question is leetcode style and I failed. Afterward, I schedule with recrutier for feedback.
Initial screening call with recruiter, a single algorithms coding interview, followed by three more algorithm rounds, then a systems design interview followed by a googleyness interview to check culture and leadership.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2022
Interview
It was a technical screen. There was 1 coding problem with few follow-ups. I was able to solve initial question and 1 follow-up, because they were super-easy. Second follow-up was tricky. Got rejected.
