I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
I was contacted out of the blue by one of their "channel specialist" recruiters - basically people who try to find "passive" candidates. I'm not looking, but hey may as well talk to Google right?
We did a nice 30 minute call with a follow-on where she would try to find relevant positions within the Google. I was expecting more detailed questions, but it felt very much like they are just quickly doing triage on potential candidates.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
