I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
The interview process felt very thorough and complete. I was referred by a current employee and was contacted by an internal Google recruiter within days. They walked me through what the process would look like and helped me throughout the way. I was handed off to other 'recruiters' who managed each stage of the process. Eventually I was scheduled for a full-day interview in their offices.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was asked how I would perform statistical frequency analysis on a random raw data source to get a set of results that are most relevant to humans.
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
