I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me and spoke with me for 15 mins.
I was surprised with the way the process was handled from start to finish. Firstly, there were a bunch of hands offs during recruiting process until the on-site. And on the day of the on-site I met a few product managers who came off as complete jerks who do not understand the notion of a meaningful professional conversation. By the end of the loop, I had reached a conclusion that Google seriously needs to train employees on communication and interviewing skills.
The people I met was a clear indication that I will not be joining this company.
This was a complete let down of expectations, especially from one of the top technology companies to work for.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
