I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
I was offered an intial phone screen by human resources and held a telephone interview that lasted ~20 minutes. Essentially, the HR rep wanted to know my SAT, GPA, and GRE scores. After providing this information, I was passed onto a Google manager within another department for a 1st round interview in person. Interview was difficult because the woman that interviewed me was an engineer and didn't have interpersonal skills. Basically, they wanted to know how well I did on tests and other academic measures that I felt were unimportant for a job in business development. I recieved an offer after my colleges provided my test scores and transcripts.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you didn't work well with a supervisor. What was the outcome and how would you have changed the outcome?
First attached by hr, interview with her is very smooth, nice conversation not pushed, asked one question in Chinese and three in English, offered tips for the process next, benefit a lot.
The interview process was very professional. There was a first round a conversation with HR. Then you have another round of interviews with the team and then a loop. All interviews were conducted very professional.
Accepted application thru email and then scheduled initial screening interview thru phone call. Basic phone interview just a vibe check and said would get back to me on next steps
