I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a HR representative and told they wanted to interview me as well as given a list of subjects they are likely to want to know more about from my application and resume. During the interview I was told that the position I was applying to had already been filled before I even submitted my application but they would keep me in their archive for potential similar job openings in the future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing really difficult. The one that required the most explanation was to describe a situation during previous work when I had to use an analysis I'd made of data to convince someone that I was correct.
4 different methodical interviews, there is alot of info about it everywhere. They do tend to ask some challenging questions. Overall I had a pretty good experience with the process as a whole.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2016
Interview
Entretien en face à face avec le manager. L'entretien consistait à répondre à un cas pratique en discutant des solutions avec l'interlocuteur. Aucune question sur moi mais très axé sur le job en lui même et savoir comment je réagirais par rapport à celui-ci.

Very professional, multi-stage interview proces with quick feedback. Interesting questions about the daily business in the job and openness to actually discuss the answer and not just rate it and move on.
