I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Google (París) in Jun 2016
Interview
Got a call at an inconvenient hour (7pm), phone connection was really bad (why don't they simply use Google Hangouts?) so it was difficult to hear the interviewer. The scheduler was very nice and accommodating however. Did feel very impersonal but that's fine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are industries will be impacted by self driving cars? How and why?
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
