HR found me through LinkedIn. Scheduled a an informal phone talk to talk about my background and work interests for about 10 min.
They will have another tech interview and a onsite if you pass the tech interview.
This position at Mountain View now only hires PhDs.....
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Hangout interview was right on time, fair questions, the very nice guy from Germany, asked mostly about my previous experience and academic background. As I see it, the goal was to understand the extent of my knowledge in statistics and machine learning, also how I draw conclusions and interpret the results of my research.
tech-phone interview. applied online and waited 3 days to get the email from HR to set up a screen interview. Then tech-phone interview. The whole process is very quick and their HR is very nice
