I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Started out in a shabby fashion -- made me wait for a while. Didn't come across as very organized initially. After that multiple interviewers came by one after another in the same conference room that I was in. The best part of the interview was the lunch experience. Their follow-up was also slow.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
# of buses needed to transport Google employees between mountain view and bay area residences.
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
