I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2018
Interview
4 45 minutes on-site interviews on one day. They provided a laptop for the coding questions. Time is big constrain. Completing the code is more imported to having the advanced solution. I had no strong C++ experts as interview partner.
They will give you after 1 week an answer, your week and strong sides.
