The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in June 2011
Interview
I had one phone interview asking about my interest in the position, and they went over my resume in great detail. The next phone interview was scheduled with the manager of the position I was applying for, and we talked more about the position and he asked me some logic questions (how many houses are painted red in Canada?, etc). The talk went well, and he said that it looked like I had a good resume to match the position. An on site interview was scheduled for three weeks away, and I asked for the day off work ahead of time, and read up on AdWords and AdSense extensively, but then on the day before the interview, they called to say that it had to be cancelled because of a recent staff meeting with senior management, and that they no longer wanted to fill the open position. It was very unexpected, and I was bummed out after all the planning ahead for this interview, but that's life! They were very apologetic about it, and everyone I talked to throughout the process was professional and sounded like a good person, so I'm planning on trying again if the opening ever comes up again, or something similar to it.
first in person interview after online . First job interview . Interviewer was very kind, and encouraging. It covered both soft skills for communications, and technical questions related to the job requirement
Good and total 5 rounds there. Jam, technical interview, HR round and some more are there. It was good. Nice experience. It was a walk-in drive. More than 300 members attended
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Paris)
Interview
2 phone screens (1 with recruitment and 1 with team member) and 2 on-site interviews ( with 2 managers). Roughly 30mins/interview.Everyone was very friendly, even though the questions were not easy. Lots of questions about experience, no question such as "what are your 3 qualities and weaknesses". Very interested in what I was doing outside of work.
