I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jul 2017
Interview
I first had a phone screen with a recruiter, who was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I then had a video Hangout with the hiring manager. Overall, they were easy to communicate with, kept me updated on the process and timeline, and sent a survey after asking how they could improve.

What is one change you would make to any Google app?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The overall process was great. The recruiter I worked with was so helpful and really wanted me to succeed. Unfortunately, this job was not meant to be but honestly the interview experience was so smooth I was grateful for the chance.
Easy process, it was conversational and fairly relaxed, the interview was directly with the department manager, who mostly asked value-based interview questions. Lasted about 1 hour overall, with opportunity for questions at the end

How would you use your experience to support the team
Google is a great company. Initial screening process was good. Interview proper with hiring manager was unstructured and sometimes haphazard - casting doubt on whether the scope of the role itself was properly defined.
