I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Washington, DC) in Apr 2018
Interview
They have the worst hiring process. I applied for a role, but was considered for another role. Did pre-screen with recruiter (passed), then it took 3 weeks to schedule and have a 1:1 with the actualy TPM who was hiring. I believed I did a great job and he really like my experience and was impressed. It is now a month and no one has contacted me back even though I tried calling the recruiter several times and reaching out and not one word or reply. Not an overall good experience. I wouldn't recommend at all. Change your process and get the common courtesy of following up with potential candidates. It shouldn't take 3+ for people to be hired for Google or any other role that is not at the C-suite level.

Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
I did 3 rounds of interview as part of the loop. 4th interview got postponed and eventually they decide not proceed with my application. The interviewers were from West Virginia and London. They were great and I enjoyed the interviews. Just disappointed that I couldn’t land the role.
