I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Zürich)
Interview
I have been referred by a Google employee. First, I was invited to a screening interview, than several (virtual) onsite interviews. The recruiter helped me every step of the way.

Question 1
There is a great focus on statistics + Python code.
An interview is behavioral
Lengthy. Recruiter screen followed by 4 online interviews and an invitation to on-site. They asked a bunch of questions specific to the role and expected an analysis that required industry knowledge. I wasn't told that by the recruiter and bombed.
Great people and a challenging interview process designed to select strong candidates. The hiring managers were kind, professional, and helpful throughout. I only wish I had more time to prepare beforehand. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Question 1
Tell me about a project where you used machine learning to solve a real problem.
They asked me some questions, then I answered them. This continued for approximately 30 minutes, at which point I departed. I have not heard from them since. It was an enjoyable experience.
