I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in June 2010
Interview
interview process (overall) was great, but some engineers made some picky and meaningless questions. hiring process takes a long time, I spent 2 months and they told me that I was on halfway. They are very interested on your GPA by asking and also requesting to send transcript and certificates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me everything you know about TCP/IP ? Ports ? Protocols ?
Good, in depth technical questions and detailed analysis. Attention to detail to the problems given. technical knowledge needed spans several technologies and use cases. Ample time was given and felt very comfortable.

Question 1
What are you long term goals and how are you pursing them?
great interview. they asked me about problems and how to solve them. not too bad at all, interviewer was very polite in my opinion. it was really nice to interview with google.
online, the recruiter seems quite questionable. doesnt give good first impressions im afraid but i am here for the money. they ask super basic questions. just learn your star and you are good
