I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Only went through the first round interview that consisted of two 30-45 minute phone interviews back to back with two different employees from Google. Overall went pretty well and thought my algorithms were correct and efficient but did not move on in the process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2020
Interview
Apply online, contact by a recruiter a few days later to schedule the first back-to-back interview. After two weeks, another recruiter kicks in and schedule the final round back-to-back after three weeks. After the final interview, waited for more than a month to get rejected. Extremely slow.
