I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Google
Interview
First interview was HR, that went as expected. then the next one was with an employee of the company that was a very technical interview at Google for a non-technical role. Not a good experience at all.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2015
Interview
I applied through a referral and the entire process took less than a week. The interviewer made me feel comfortable and it was a healthy discussion. Towards the end of the conversation he also briefed on what to expect from next round. I was hopeful and started preparing for next rounds, after three days I received a 'no' email. I tried to understand the reasons for rejection but in vain.

Question 1
It was for a program manager role and they asked me to present a business case on metric improvement
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
1. Two calls with recruiter - one as a prequal, one as a "yes, we'd like to bring you in"
2. Onsite interviews with 8 people and one over lunch. Overall a good group of people.
Oddly the interviews are not conversational though. The interviewer is madly typing the entire time writing down what you say in answer to their questions. They have good questions and it seems a lot of thought is put into making sure the same questions aren't asked in each interview.
Big emphasis on how you communicate with "engineering types".

Question 1
Imagine you are working with a lot of engineers in this role, knowing they speak a slightly different language, how would you approach communications?
