I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (London, England) in Sept 2018
Interview
Lengthy, but great process. Good candidate experience with regular check ins. Useful interview preparation giving you every opportunity to succeed. Slick process with timely updates. Difficult to keep other opportunities with shorter processes in sync.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
