I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Singapur) in Aug 2012
Interview
I posted my resume on a job-seeking website and I were contacted by someone from a HR company. They asked me whether I wanted to work for Google and I said yes. Then they arranged a video conference because the people who interviewed me was in Japan (I were in Singapore at the moment). The interview went quite well and I were asked about my background, skills, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The job position is Project Manager but I haven't hold any position like that before so they asked me whether I could handle it.
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.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
