I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2010
Interview
Process wasn't very smooth, got bounced around a lot between different recruiters and had to resend my CV and cover letter. Interview process was quick once I eventually got referred to the right person. Interview itself was tough but interesting. The interview consisted purely of technical questions, including (tough) Java Concurrency/Generics questions and some networking/protocol questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very technical Java concurrency question that required a LOT of knowledge of concurrency in Java.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Warsaw, Masovia)
Interview
Very long process - from cv screening to two technical interviews on the same day, ending with a conversation with an intern host. The whole thing took about 4 months (from the moment of sending in the cv)

Question 1
2 simple tasks - one based on recursion, one based on array traversal
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2024
Interview
The technical questions themselves were not difficult and the interviewers were nice. Try to talk them through your solution and not to be nervous! Read the question twice before you start coming up with a solution. This saves you from spiraling down without finding a solution.

Question 1
How would you optimize this solution? If you were to replace this algorithm with another, what would it be?
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Munich, Bavaria) in May 2024
Interview
It was a simple 2 interviews back to back. The second one was a bit more difficult that he first one. One common theme I noticed was that they both asked me questions in simple terms and in a more general sense, and it was up to me to ask questions and dig more to get the full scope of the question.

Question 1
Next day given date and I was then asked a follow up saying what if you were asked not just the next day but date after x days.
