I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
it is a 3 stage process. recruiter, 1:1 interview for 60 minutes then 3-5 interviews onsite. The whole process is very secretive is was impossible to find out if there was a position near me and basic info on what projects they had at the closest office. I made it through all 3 stages and feel like I did very well and expected an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how to redesign a search engine from scratch without knowing anything about the input.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
