I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (London, England) in Jul 2011
Interview
After submitting my resume I was asked to send a detailed portfolio. They asked me to exemplify steps I took in order to get the project completed.
After that I was asked to perform a test, I had to choose from three scenarios and design solutions to the problems described.
After that there was a phone interview that took an hour.
After that I was invited to their London office - all expense paid. It was a full day of interviews and a presentation about my professional history.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you design an interface for a 1000 floors elevator
I had 3 rounds total. 1st round was with HR, with the remaining rounds being with the Head of Product and the tech teams. The last round was the hardest, as I had to do a portfolio review
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru)
Interview
3 rounds of tech discussion which I cleared with a positive feedback but suddenly recruiter disappeared and when I reached out for further rounds she mentioned that they have got a internal candidate for this position. Never thought Google will be such an unprofessional organisation.
I didn't make it to the interview part of the process. I highly recommend knowing someone or going through an actual recruiter if you'd like a job at Google. Cold applying online is harder to to secure a job.
