I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2011
Interview
I had submitted my resume online but did not hear back from the recruiting group for this position
I received a call from a recruiter who did an initial screening asking me question on my resume and my interest in the job position.
This was followed by 4 video conference calls and 1 in person interview with various team members. First interview was with the actual hiring manager.
While it was great to visit the UK office, I was not too fond of the video conference interview. Two of my interviewers were 30 minutes to an hour late for the interview. The conference room was also quite warm making the interview quite uncomfortable.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Initial screening, two interviews with PMMs focused on behavorial questions and some hypotheticals - they provide prep on the structure they want for the hypotheticals which mostly focus on marketing thinking and thought process
Phone screening interview with HR, followed by Hangouts interview with key staff member. In-person interview with four cross-functional team members, and the hiring manager. One of my interviews with a customer service team member was very case-based ("How would you handle this...?") and my other interviews were more about the business I would be working on.

Question 1
With a global user base, how might we scale our online support team effectively?
As expected, the interview had a mix of behavioral and hypothetical questions. Nothing too difficult, but you must always connect your answers back to the specific job function you’re applying for.
