I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2014
Interview
It took forever to get the process going, having 3 weeks in between each phone interview made it last over the duration of the summer. I don't recommend if you're looking for a job right away. I already had a job so it didn't bother me too much.
The recruiter was very nice and provided great sources to help practice for the interview. However I didn't do too well on the 2nd call and they decided to not go further with me. It's your typical corporate interview where you have 45 minutes in a sketch pad application online that they watch you solve problems you get as a student in college. I believe the first interview was the palindrome string problem. Make sure you do it efficiently and using a data structure. Almost all the questions you can use a data structure to help you solve the problem, and that's what they are looking for you to use to complete the problem.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Sydney)
Interview
I applied through referral. After submitting application, had a recruiter call, then scheduled for an technical interview. The recruiter is very busy and seems to forget me so I email him and chase him down to get scheduled. Interview question is leetcode style and I failed. Afterward, I schedule with recrutier for feedback.
Initial screening call with recruiter, a single algorithms coding interview, followed by three more algorithm rounds, then a systems design interview followed by a googleyness interview to check culture and leadership.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2022
Interview
It was a technical screen. There was 1 coding problem with few follow-ups. I was able to solve initial question and 1 follow-up, because they were super-easy. Second follow-up was tricky. Got rejected.
