I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me, and I had a brief 20 minute phone screening. Then I was scheduled 2 45 minute interviews. The recruiter was so helpful and guided me through everything -- I was emailed so many resources to prepare for the interviews. The questions in both of my interviews were much easier than anything I had studied for, which was surprising. Overall, the whole process was very smooth, and everyone was really helpful.
Originally only have one round. After my first round, they added another round, then I bombed the second one. Overall very clear instructions. The people are very nice. I did one question for the first round and two for the second round. Will apply again next year. Good luck guys!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2015
Interview
I have been reffered by my univercity teacher. I had two technical interviews in a row, conducted in Hangouts. The interviewers were nice and supportive, first they asked me to tell about myself, then moved to the questions (basicly data structures and graph algorithms) where I first had to explain my solution orally and then write the code in Google Doc. In the end I had some time to ask my questions about the workflow in Google.
