I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Only made it through initial phone interview, was not fully prepared so the interviewer recommended requesting another interview in a few months. Next time I'll make sure I'm more prepared and ready to answer the more technical questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Zürich) in Jun 2014
Interview
11 interviews, none of them related to who you are but rather a series of pre-packaged exercises tailored to see how you perform at them. People who interviewed you were generally unaware of who you'd spoken to before (even from HR) and what they're looking for - in general a lot of them were more junior than myself and had no interest in any of the things I'd done to date or what the role description required, they were going by the generic title that they had.
