I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
I had a phone interview to screen for fit. It was over the phone and lasted approximately 30 minutes. Very nice person handled the interview after the HR piece. A good overview and helpful perspective. General type dev questions.
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
