I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Pretty standard interview, with friendly interviewers, and overall an interesting discussion. At this point, google interviews are so well documented that there aren't really any surprises. Very similar to other interviews.
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.
