The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I had two phone interviews and then onsite interview in Google's Seattle office. The first phone interview was with recruiter, just to verify the background and confirm the job interest. Recruiter is very nice, will give you some suggestions about how to prepare the interview. The second phone interview was with the dev manager that the position is supposed to work with, not many tough questions, easy going. Actually with only 45 minutes including some minutes for you to ask questions, really not much time for tough questions. The onsite interview was almost a whole day, as it was with total 6 rounds of interviews with one interviewer for each round. I talked to three interviewers f2f in their Seattle office and talked to another two from Bay Area office via video conference, and a 6th one during the lunch time.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
