I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Zúrich) in Apr 2015
Interview
Interview process was very smooth. Got a call after 3 days of submitting my application. Had a phone interview, one interview through Google hangouts and then 1 on-site interview. Didn't get an offer but the experience was great.
The whole process took 3 weeks. Phone screening was very easy. Standard project management questions. The on-site interview was a bit difficult but this was expected. They check both critical thinking and technical skills (i.e., software skills).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard project management questions. Pretty easy and straightforward to answer. For the on-site interview I had to sign an NDA but it was technical and it required thinking for real-life applications.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Very well established process, excellent recruiter who helped prepare me for the interview as best he could, making me feel comfortable throughout the process. Interviews were 5 consecutive, back to back meetings, where everyone took notes on their laptops as we proceeded. While this could have been intimidating, it was not because they explained their need to get the information into hr, as they were interviewing several people for many positions.
