I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Google (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jul 2020
Interview
First, had a call with the recruiter and other candidates so the recruiter can tell us about the call. Then, had the first 30 min interview. After that the recruiter calls and tells you if you made it past the first round. If so, you interview with 2 other people back to back. The recruiter was nice and sent some documents to help you prepare but they weren't enough.
The interview was very difficult. The interviewer asked ALL situational questions (difficult ones) and only 1 behavioral question. They asked follow up questions with each main question. Stone cold face with no emotion at all.

Question 1
Why are you a good fit for this role and this team, and how does this position align with your long term career goals?
the process is very fast. i got 4 rounds of interview within 2 weeks, and got the feedback right after each round of interviews. sometimes its depends on the chemistry between you and the interviewer.
The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
Disorganized recruiting with random meeting invites with no explanations. Interviewer wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed to not care at all about the interview. The feedback call after the interview sounded like recruiter was reading an AI generating summary of the interview, which felt not personal at all. Overall awful experience.
