I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Interview process was very traditional. One of the project member warmed me up with some basic questions, mainly focusing on high school physics' concepts. After probably 15 minutes, the main interviewer walked in with a laptop asking quite similar questions to the first interviewer, in addition to some soft questions.
Overall, I believe it could have been a successful interview on two accounts-
1) I should have meditated before I walked in. :)
2) It would have been nice, if the recruiter didn't try to hide the team/project information, so the candidate can prepare ahead to the type of mindset is required to solve those problems.
First question/comment out my interviewer mouth was- "so, you know which project you are interviewing for, right?"
In any case, it was a positive interview experience. Both of my interviewers were highly professional and patient through out the interview. I would definitely apply for another position at Google.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (München, Bavaria)
Interview
Very friendly recruiter, she took the time to go through the overall process. I appreciated the attitude.
Sadly I did not match the jobs requirements so it didn't go further than the first HR meeting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical HR questions asking about experience, technologies used...etc
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
LinkedIn HR called, phone interview, then onsite interviews, HR was calling frequently to update status (good), one of the interview was just too cold, he wasn't very responsive throughout
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
The interviewer asked 2questions.
One coding question although I wrote the package and relevant classes to be used to solve the problem. Interviewer was not happy, as I wrote code in Java and the interviewer expected it in some other language of his preference. They made me prepare DS, Algorithms, OS, System Design. And asked a non-relevant question not part of any of the subjects asked to prepare. They boast aroud their "Reduced Four" interview process. But, their interviewers need more trainings. Ethical interviews, unethical practices like the EU antiTrust fine.
