I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2010
Interview
They seemed to be very stats oriented. Lots of questions about college, even though I graduated four years ago. Curious about professional organizations, and then drilled on knowledge of Google products. If you don't have experience in the position that you are interviewing for, it may be tricky to move on as they are less likely to want to train new hires.
It's nearly impossible to get an interview if you don't know someone so get referred!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What professional organizations are you a member of? How can they contribute to your performance in this position?
They asked some random questions.
THe table was dirty and oily. The guy was high on something. This is a horrile place. i don't want to work there even if they pay $12 bucks.
The interview process started with an initial screening call with a recruiter, lasting about 30–45 minutes. They discussed my resume, experience, and fit for the role. This call was non-technical and mostly focused on background and behavioral questions.

Question 1
They asked me to describe a time I managed multiple priorities and deadlines. They wanted to see how I organized tasks, communicated with team members, and solved problems under pressure.
A Google interview felt surprisingly simple and easy. The questions were straightforward, the pacing was calm, and the whole conversation moved smoothly without pressure or complexity. Person interviewing was very nice.
