The whole hiring team was amazing and so communicative. They were supportive through out the whole process. The onsite was well coordinated and the questions really made me think. Probably the best interview process I’ve been through!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Austin, TX) in Jun 2018
Interview
I was referred to this position by a friend who has recently started at Google. The recruiter reached out shortly after my friend gave me the heads up. Although the recruiter was new, she was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the process. Google is very transparent about how the process works and how long the process is expected to take. I even had a long two week vacation in the middle of my interview process - they made sure to work around my schedule. I never felt pressured. Although I did not receive an offer, I plan on reapplying in 6 months as encouraged by my recruiter. Apparently it is common for people to interview a couple of times before receiving an offer.

Had a phone interview and then was flown out to Austin for an in person Interview. They are very nice and put you in a nice hotel. During the visit they gave me a tour and I got to have a nice lunch there. Lots of people. Most seemed super young and nice

Interview
I applied and got an email from a Sourcer in about 2 days asking to set up time with a Recruiter for a 30-minute phone call. I did 1 phone screen and was invited on-site a week later. The onsite consisted of 4 interviews and 1 informal lunch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do research on Google hiring practices; most of it is available online. Essentially, a combination of Behavioral and Hypothetical questions relevant to the job you are applying for. Be prepared to answer follow-up question after follow-up question; do not be afraid to take notes and ask questions of the interviewer to get more information. I believe the focus was to see how you go about solving complex problems that do not have one right answer. It was actually pretty fun! I haven't heard back yet, but regardless, I thought the interviews were unique and full of "googliness"
