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

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.
