The interview process was extremely long. I spoke to a recruiter in March and had the final round in June. It was 5 rounds in total. During the 3rd round, my interviewer did not show up to the video call, and my recruiter had quit his job that day at Google. This caused some delay as I had to track down a new recruiter and push them to get the interviews rescheduled. The questions were not especially difficult. I was surprised to hear that they had stopped asking "brain-teasers." I spent a lot of time preparing for these, but that was a relief. The worst part is the waiting. I never actually got a decision from Google in the end. As I am writing this it has been more than 3 months since the final round interview. I check in with the recruiter on a weekly basis, but for some reason, they cannot find out why I haven't been notified yet. After 7 months of prepping, practicing, interviewing and waiting, this is both disappointing and insulting.

The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
