I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2019
Interview
I started off by applying online to one position, but my recruiter directed me to another position that fit my skillset. I had one Google hangout interview with a manager, and then I had an on-site interview with three people, each 30-40 minutes. I then moved on to the hiring committee which required my recruiter getting additional information from me. My recruiter was wonderful. The HR staff at Google is super thoughtful and friendly, wonderful experience.
