I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2015
Interview
Actually interviewed twice in a month for two slightly different positions. Each time it was 5 interviews over 4 hours (45 minutes each). Lots of behavioral questions, a few hypothetical scenarios, not too many programing problems. Both times, it was clear that the job wasn't that interesting or really a good fit for my experience, but the interview schedule is inflexible and you must do all of the interviews.
It was fun to see the NY and Mountain View campuses, but in the end it was a waste of time for everyone involved.
Two process interview. was not clear. first interview with recruiter which thought it will go well. second with Hiring manager which was not clear what was asked or needed. Not sure why went through this.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
