I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Brussels) in Sept 2015
Interview
Multiple lengthy interviews, measuring different variables. Had a total of 6 interviews. People were always friendly and it was a very enjoyable process overall. I was always kept informed in what next steps were, and the recruiter made always sure that I got enough background information to prepare accordingly.
3 interviews with hiring manager, peer and a stakeholder manager respectively. Mostly questions about your past experience, behavioral and business case questions. I didn’t find it challenging at all. Interviewers are all pretty nice.
Not hard - they have a ton of applicants for the positions and it’s unlikely they will hire beyond high level applicants from the largest strategy firms and a ton of tech experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
As described online. A couple of rounds, a mixture of hypotheticals and “tell me about a time” questions. Interviewers are super friendly and will help a little if you need it. But you should definitely be prepared and learn how to structure your answers. You should also speak to the qualities in the resume
