I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Brief tour of the site and five interviews, one after another with lunch break in between. Free lunch and great facilities. Google paid for the flight, car service and hotel overnight
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many planes can take off from an airport in an hour
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
