I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Referred by friend, and got phone call from one DS from google. It was very great experience to talk with one DS from google. I learned what was daily jobs in his team.
Then I was invited on-site. Four more DS from varied teams interviewed me and one per hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to evaluate the deer population density in one national park?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
Back to back interview.
