I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2014
Interview
Very easy, properly structured, very helpful HR. There were three phases. The phase 1 was with HR for screening, they measure your profile (they even ask what you did in your previous job etc..) the second one was more technical..the third one had 3 interviewees...You need to make sure you know all google products very well.

Question 1
Why google? Why this position? Which products and services would recommend to a pizza restaurant if you work at Google?
the process is very fast. i got 4 rounds of interview within 2 weeks, and got the feedback right after each round of interviews. sometimes its depends on the chemistry between you and the interviewer.
The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
Disorganized recruiting with random meeting invites with no explanations. Interviewer wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed to not care at all about the interview. The feedback call after the interview sounded like recruiter was reading an AI generating summary of the interview, which felt not personal at all. Overall awful experience.
