I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google in May 2017
Interview
I had five interviews. Two were with engineers and three were with tech writers. I also had lunch at the Google cafeteria with one of the tech writers from the team, but that was entirely social; there were no interview questions over lunch. Each interview was less than an hour, maybe about 45 minutes.
