I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Approached by a recruiter and asked to interview via phone. The team was distributed and google cloud engineer and hiring manager spoke on the phone. At first they wanted to bring people onto campus but decided to do phone interviews and format changed. The recruiting process seems dysfunctional.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY)
Interview
Initial call from recruiter and several interviews in a row. The first one was technical with one SQL and one Programming question. I had exceled the interview in my opinion but the recruiter email with the position being already filled.

Difference between IaaS and SaaS How do you identify workloads suitable for Cloud Migration?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
Second time going through the lengthy Google interview process, this time I was approached by a Google recruiter and didn't make it through the second round. Very little feedback given from the interview, and questions asked during interview were very scripted. Felt as though the job was either cut or Google filled it internally but didn't wish to communicate that with me.
