I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
The entire process took roughly two months. I was referred by a friend who works at Google. Had two interviews with the HR, one with the junior in the team and three more onsite interviews with more senior staff in the team. After passing all the interviews, the candidate package was reviewed by the hiring committee which takes a few days before google finally made an offer to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral (Tell me a time when..) and motivations questions (Why Google, Why this position), a few cases (How would you optimize Adwords account / sales pitch / comparing with competitors like Bing / Estimation question). I've only had one brain teaser so that really should not be your focus for preparing Google interviews.
Got reached out to by a recruiter.
Passed the screening call last week.
rd1 interview is coming up this week (11 days after).
Apparently only 2 rds of interviews this process. Though the 2nd interview consists of 2 45min interviews in one.
1: screening call
2: assessments
3: Role play interview w behavioral questions
4: roles related knowledge and Googleyness interview
Waiting on the final decision now. Process took about two months
Currently interviewing, would love to learn other's experience. I passed both assessments online, they were pretty easy and took about 30-40min each. Did a phone screening, now waiting for interviews.
