I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2014
Interview
30 minute interview over Google Hangouts. Interviewer was very friendly and we discussed how it was to work at Google. The whole interview was centred around my views on leadership, teamwork, etc... and if I could talk about a time I had demonstrated such a value.
Got reached out to by a recruiter.
Passed the screening call last week.
rd1 interview is coming up this week (11 days after).
Apparently only 2 rds of interviews this process. Though the 2nd interview consists of 2 45min interviews in one.
1: screening call
2: assessments
3: Role play interview w behavioral questions
4: roles related knowledge and Googleyness interview
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.
