I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Jan 2020
Interview
Interview process was good. I was kept inform during each stage. Interviewers knew their stuff and were very well presented. Unfortuatnly I was offered another job a few days before Google could counter offer.
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.
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.
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.
