I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2012
Interview
After a short phone screener, the recruiter scheduled a longer phone interview with me. The phone interview was okay. It felt like the guy was expecting a very specific solution, and unhappy that I didn't give the "correct" answer. Afterwards, the communication broke down. There were various delays in getting back to me with feedback. Overall I was not happy with the process.
HR round after applying, then coding screening round, if passes, then final round which consists of four coding round or three coding and one design round. Problem difficulty medium to hard.
