I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Hanoi) in Jan 2017
Interview
The process took 2 months. An engineer at Google referred me and then I had to take 3 phone interviews. Overall, the process was good, not so fast but the experience was good.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked mostly about algorithmic questions, I also have to design a good algorithm and debug a given code.
Two 45 minute phone interviews separated by 15 minutes. The interviews were completely technical and there were no questions about my CV, personality, etc...Interviewers went down to business immediately and were serious. Overall a good experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2014
Interview
Regular process. Referral by a friend, schedule for two back-to-back 45-min phone interviews. I'm currently waiting for the result. I chose a date that is three weeks later when they asked me to, so the whole process seemed long. But you can shorten it by choosing a closer date.
The scheduling is like, you tell them five time slots you are available, and they will tell you exactly when it is scheduled.

Question 1
Mostly quite easy problems. One is parentheses matching. It is simple, but I forgot to use stack. I used two variables to keep track of left and right parens. But when it comes to two kinds of parens, it is hard without using stack. The interviewer reminded me of it, then I coded using stack. There are some bugs and the interviewer pointed them out.
