First round phone interview, then an in person session with 4 45-minute interviews in mountain view. Both sessions had case questions in addition to skills and cultural fit questions.
The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Currently work for a top consulting firm. Was contacted by a recruiter and asked about interest regarding an open position. Interviewed on the phone with a recruiter for an initial screen. After this, had a phone interview with a department manager hiring for the open position. Was referred to another position after it was determined that the first role was not an ideal fit. Completed a second phone interview for the next position with a manager which went very well and resulted in an invitation to a final round on-site interview. The final interview was quite difficult, with 5 case studies and a puzzle question over a 4 hour period with a 15 minute break. The interviewers did not spend much time looking at my personality and instead focused primarily on case studies and why google questions. 2 days after the interview was informed they were selecting another interviewee and that they would remain in touch about future opportunities. Overall the experience was incredibly time consuming and slightly disorganized.
