it was too long - 5 separate stages with different people, the final being on site. Easy enough to arrange but 5 interviews is far too much investment of time if you're going to be rejected. Was rejected at the final and fifth stage and it was disappointing to have put in so much time and prioritised google's multiple interviews over other companies

I was contacted by a recruiter and asked if I was interested in joining Google, and I said yes. I was given enough time to prepare for the interview, I set the date of the interview to be after 2 months from the recruiter's phone call. The first phone screen interview was easy. I was asked some brief questions on my graduation project, then I was given a programming question. I passed the first interview and was asked to go for another phone screen before the onsite interview. The second interview was easy, probably easier than the first one, However, I screwed up big time. I still can't believe it went that way. I didn't pass, which was what I expected.
