The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
2 phone interviews. First one asked no questions about my background, only design brainstorming questions:
-How would you design a refrigerator for someone who is visual impaired?
-What could the Microsoft Surface table be used for?
-How would you improve an in car GPS system?
-Is Starbucks instant coffee (via) good or bad for the company?
Second interview got into more technical areas. Asked about background and asked what I would be "known for" at the company.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you design a refrigerator for someone who is visually impaired?
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.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
