I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I applied online through my school's jobsite. Got an interview call 1 moth later. I was set up with 2 45 min phone interviews. The first interview was primarily about my previous job experiences. The second one was purely case based.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Name some google product you like? How will you improve it?
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.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
