I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Pittsburgh, PA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Get the interview for SDE intern, not an phone but an on-site interview.
I think it's mainly because I'm living close to their office.
The interviewers are nice, but they can't move forward on me.
Seems they have one year cool down if you've failed an on-site, I've try to apply again, but no response.
