Intern applicants have rated the interview process at Google with 3.7 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty) and assessed their interview experience as 67% positive. To compare, the company-average is 79.2% positive. This is according to Glassdoor user ratings.
Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Initial HR screening – A 30-minute phone call with a recruiter going over my resume and basic technical experience. Pretty standard and smooth.

Interview
