I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Hyderābād) in Jul 2011
Interview
I had 6 rounds, first was HR round on phone. Then 3 interviews in 2 rounds. SInce I was in different city at the time of interviews, the interviews happened on vc. the interviewers are typically the people that you would be working with or people in their profile. Interviewers are encouraging positive and open. The questions are typically about your learnings and achievements from past, knowledge about job field and motive for applying.
the process is very fast. i got 4 rounds of interview within 2 weeks, and got the feedback right after each round of interviews. sometimes its depends on the chemistry between you and the interviewer.
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.
Disorganized recruiting with random meeting invites with no explanations. Interviewer wasn’t welcoming at all and seemed to not care at all about the interview. The feedback call after the interview sounded like recruiter was reading an AI generating summary of the interview, which felt not personal at all. Overall awful experience.
