I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jan 2016
Interview
Started with phone interview with HR rep. Was straight forward- asked about why this position, etc. Took maybe 15 minutest total. Tried to figure whether this was the right position or if I should be applying to another open position. Then had a phone interview with team manager. Took about 30 minutes total. Asked questions about background, and several situational ("tell me about a time...") queries.
Got reached out to by a recruiter.
Passed the screening call last week.
rd1 interview is coming up this week (11 days after).
Apparently only 2 rds of interviews this process. Though the 2nd interview consists of 2 45min interviews in one.
1: screening call
2: assessments
3: Role play interview w behavioral questions
4: roles related knowledge and Googleyness interview
Waiting on the final decision now. Process took about two months
