I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY)
Interview
The process had two main parts: a 30 minute phone interview with a software engineer and an on-site. The on-site included 4, 45 minute technical interviews, and a lunch with a software engineer working in your area of interest who gave absolutely no feedback to add to your file to allow for a more open conversation about the company.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in June 2018
Interview
Snapshot and coding interview.Was asked to solve two programs in 90 minutes.Prepare your data structures well. You need to know exactly what DS to use to solve this problem.Time will be short
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter over LinkedIn and set up a phone interview with her. This was just a simple talk about the position, what the process would be like, and if I was interested. Next was an online coding sample that had to be completed followed by two phone interviews and then the on site interviews. All the engineers I talked to were nice and polite and would listen and answer any questions I had after the interview. The recruiter was also very nice and answered all my questions either the day I sent them or the next day. I was also kept informed of my status throughout the entire process from beginning to end and received information from the recruiter the day after my interviews each time. Overall it was a very well done and painless process, if only I had gotten a an offer, haha.
