I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Long, unfortunately due to my busy schedule. It seems they would have sped up the process for someone who wanted it. Two phone interviews and then flown out to Mountain View for five interviews in a row. Some technical in nature, some not. They interviewers were amazing, but my recruiter was on vacation the day of my interviews and I wasn't let in to the building on time to start.
Good interviewers that ask a lot of questions to gauge your domain knowledge. Do not feel daunted because they just need to know your thought process. Speak more and out loud. Think out loud.
Two process interview. was not clear. first interview with recruiter which thought it will go well. second with Hiring manager which was not clear what was asked or needed. Not sure why went through this.

Question 1
Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
