I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
submission of application -> phone screen -> hangout interview -> onsite
I sensed that onsite interviews were all about checking on the chemistry between myself and the hiring manager (and his managerial colleagues from other teams).
Contacted by a recruiter, and she is very helpful. Scheduled a Phone interview after two weeks. Questions are clear, but focused on ab test, confidence interval, power analysis. Not machine learning algorithms.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
The process was overall very pleasant. Had five rounds of interviews covering statistical coding, probability and statistical inference, product interpretation, time series modeling and behavior questions. Each of the interviews is 45 minutes and there is lunch time in their cafeteria.
