I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in May 2011
Interview
had 7 back to back interviews that lasted 5.5 hours. Was the most interesting process I've ever been through. Interviewers were very detailed, took real time notes, discussed all aspects of the job classification, in-depth questions on background and hypothetical situations for problem solving
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Pittsburgh, PA)
Interview
its tough and long process. 7 Interviews. Better know your stuff.
It is completely normal that they forget to call you, forget your interview half way through, reassign you to random people, or to positions which you are clearly not qualified for. Almost every single person working at Google has a story regarding recruiter incompetence which affected them or one of their friends. I referred 2 people, and they royally screwed up in both cases.
Now that that’s out of the way: you either apply for a job (usually via our website), or a recruiter contacts you, usually because they found you on linkedin (or similar) or because someone referred you
