I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mumbai) in Aug 2014
Interview
The interview process was very thorough starting from my first round. Don't go by JD, you would need to have deep knowledge of the concepts and much more skills than what is mentioned. I would not say it was very difficult but yes they want the Engineer to have knowledge on a broad spectrum of concepts. Just stick to basics and cover whatever you can.
Round 1. 10 questions on linux, networking and computer hardware
Round 2. Technical round on Networking
Round 3. Technical round on Linux
Round 4. Technical round on Hardware and DC(Data Center)
