J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en août 2016
Entretien
Friend submitted a resume. Then had a phone call. Then they flew me out for an interview. I got the whole day of interviews and made it to the hiring committee stage but didn't get an offer. The feedback was that I could have talked about product design more. After speaking to 10-12 people, who also went through the same process as me, I think that's the generic response they give everyone who doesn't make it through the Hiring Committee.
Google's interview process is among the most organized and the most unbiased, I'd say. If one person doesn't like you, you aren't doomed. Everyone responds to emails and phone calls quickly. However, Google is one of those companies that is looking for a reason to say no rather than a reason to say yes.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Favorite product, features you'd add, features you'd change. Design X for Y group. Also, determine the market size for Z. The technical questions are all design based now, so you don't need to know much about internet technologies or algorithms.

Entretien
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.

Entretien
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
