I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2010
Interview
The overall interview process started off well. Expectations were set about a phone interview followed by a day of in-person interviews. However, once the process began, it became clear that they have trouble following their own process. Ultimately, it took 2 months to get to the offer and by that time I find another job. The people are smart and seem fun to work with, but if they can't get their hiring process right, there are going to be more challenges in the day-to-day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Academic-based theoretical questions about some technologies.
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.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
