I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in May 2009
Interview
The entire process is very long. From initial contact to the actual interview itself, it took about 2 months. The interview itself is not bad. It starts with a portfolio review, then a series of 1-on-1. What's special about my Google interview experience is that they like me to step into their shoes and try to solve some of their current interaction design problems. I don't think you're expected to actually solve everything, but at least it give them a way to know your way of thinking.

Question 1
Try to decide between two design solutions of a problem that they're having, each with their own pros and cons. (Note: they are real life design problems so it is a challenging problem.)
The interview process felt quite unprofessional.
HR emailed me on the same day and asked me to choose an interview time that day, which felt very unreasonable and gave me almost no time to prepare.
After the phone screen, I was supposed to interview with the hiring manager, but the coordination seemed to missing something.
No interview was scheduled, and I only found out something was wrong when I followed up during the interview week. I then received a last-minute calendar invitation.
After the interview, there was no follow-up at all. I finally received a rejection email about a month and a half later.
Overall, the process showed a lack of respect for candidates.
The interview process has been pretty smooth. Their HR team is super friendly and helpful throughout the process. Although I didn't get an offer, it was a great learning experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview

Second was an assessment,
Third was an interview round.
I got rejected after the interview round. No feedback was provided, neither any ways to contact them back.
