I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2014
Interview
There was a lot of contact via email prior to the interviews. I had a total of two phone interviews - one with the recruiter and another one with a person in the role for which I applied. I was then invited on site for 3 more interviews. The interviews went great and the atmosphere was really pleasant. I liked the offices and everyone I met there was fun to talk to. They all seemed like a big family.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was no unexpected question as such. Most questions revolved around my prior experience and how that would relate to the position I am applying for.
Got reached out to by a recruiter.
Passed the screening call last week.

Waiting on the final decision now. Process took about two months
Currently interviewing, would love to learn other's experience. I passed both assessments online, they were pretty easy and took about 30-40min each. Did a phone screening, now waiting for interviews.
