I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2010
Interview
After submitting my application online, I was directed to a questionaire, which I responded filled in online. After five weeks, I was interviewed by phone and told I would be brought in for a face-to-face. But then I was told I needed to have another phone interview. The person who conducted this was way my junior, and, for some reason, decided not to recommend me for the face-to-face.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was a challenging search assignment you conducted, and the result?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Horrible process, was told numerous times they were proceeding but then they didn't call for a month then booked another face to face and then told it was going forward again and no contact for a month. Finally I sent a note saying I assume this is not going forward and 2 weeks later they responded saying it wasn't but they would like to stay in contact. No thanks.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2010
Interview
Many of the interviewers were not at all prepared for the meeting. A few had not even glanced at my resume prior to the interview. The interviewers gave me feedback that I was very "googly" but one person (out of the 10 who interviewed me) felt the interview did not go well so I was not offered the role.
