I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2015
Interview
The engineering interviews were awesome. My interviewers were really nice and I felt like they wanted me to be successful.
The process took way too long. There was a two+ week delay from resume to contact, a two+ week delay between contact to interview, a week delay from interview to notification success (!), which led to submission to a committee, which took two+ weeks. Finally, after the committee approved my application, I waited a week to get in touch with my recruiter, who explained host matching. By this time, I had been in the process for over two months.
I accepted an offer at a similar company that offered a much much smoother process, more responsive recruiters, and significantly better compensation.
