I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2017
Interview
Takes way too long, They never got past the question of "What do you want to do?", recruiter after recruiter, I got an offer from another company while Google is still asking the same question, over and over. Expect to spend a lot of time talking with recruiters before getting to a technical interview. Way too slow, this went on for over a month. They are even proud of this. For my purposes, this touchy-feely business didn't work so other companies that just got right to the point were more attractive.
