I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2016
Interview
Technical interviews were made by phone and both Googlers I spoke with didn't have microphones near to them(maybe phone was on the desk?). I hardly heard their words. One of them was late over 20 minutes(calls were planned to 45mins). What is more, recruiter answered me after 3 weeks after Hiring Committee meeting whereas all my friends got response up to 5 days after it. Each time I've tried to catch him he was on holidays.
