I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Cut-off Junction, LA) in Feb 2022
Interview
It was ridiculous. It took almost a month to do a full loop. No thought was given to the incredibly disruptive nature of the interviews taking up an hour of my work day at random and being constantly rescheduled.
After the application on their website I received email from HR to confirm phone call session with HR. After the initial HR call I received another email to confirm meetings for behavioural interview and coding interview. All the interviews used Google Meets.
1: HR phone call (15 mins)
2: Behavioural interview (45 min)
3: Coding interview (45 min)
After the coding interview their HR called personally to give feedback, unfortunately I failed the coding interview and was not selected for 4th and 5th interviews.
Overall the interview process was pleasant and well organised.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
Initial screening with recruiter, then one 30-min interview with an EM. Received positive feedback with 24 hours and was scheduled for an on-site (prior to COVID-19) interview divided into 4 sections: project management, architecture, software delivery, and code review. I received the decision 3 days later.
