I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Aug 2014
Interview
Got initial email contact from recruiter 30 June 2014, final decisions was given on 16 September 2014. This was my second time interviewing with Google, I was familiar with the entire process, if you've interviewed before and know your stuff they skip the phone screen and fly you straight out. Flew to NYC office, everything reimbursed and very quick. I already knew what to study, all that information is really easy to find online and recruiter tells you what to study.
I had no problems answering any of the questions except involving a data structure that supports map like and array like operations.
Was told that I performed well but that hiring committee "didn't have enough data", so I didn't get the job.
Study study study, best advice I can give. All material and questions to study can be found online easily.
Just got contacted for 3rd interview, we'll see how it goes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data structure which supports both map operations and array operations without time complexity penalty.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Very friendly recruiter, she took the time to go through the overall process. I appreciated the attitude.
Sadly I did not match the jobs requirements so it didn't go further than the first HR meeting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical HR questions asking about experience, technologies used...etc
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
LinkedIn HR called, phone interview, then onsite interviews, HR was calling frequently to update status (good), one of the interview was just too cold, he wasn't very responsive throughout
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
The interviewer asked 2questions.
One coding question although I wrote the package and relevant classes to be used to solve the problem. Interviewer was not happy, as I wrote code in Java and the interviewer expected it in some other language of his preference. They made me prepare DS, Algorithms, OS, System Design. And asked a non-relevant question not part of any of the subjects asked to prepare. They boast aroud their "Reduced Four" interview process. But, their interviewers need more trainings. Ethical interviews, unethical practices like the EU antiTrust fine.
