I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Verily in Jul 2016

TL DR; The engineers were friendly. I had one of the worst recruiting processes.
I was referred by a Googler and had scheduled a tech screen with the hiring manager. After the technical screen I didn't hear back for many weeks (even though I found that the hiring manager had already submitted his feedback). Meanwhile I had to ping my referrer many times to followup. The recruiter responded to the referrer saying she will get back to me but never heard back for weeks. Then after a month and a half I heard from another recruiter that I would be brought onsite.
The onsite went well and the original recruiter reappeared and said they would like to extend an offer. Since they had dragged this out for a long time I had to deal with other offers expiring. She gave me a date which she promised to have a offer ready by. She missed that too. Verily seems to have a great vision but a horrible recruiting process. Please improve.

And the last interview was a team

I applied online. I interviewed at Verily (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026
Interview
I went through multiple rounds of the interview process including 5 interviews in person at the office for 4 hours. Everything went well and I was able to solve everything with plenty of left over time. Seems like they aren't even looking for someone for this position and are just doing it for statistics. This position has been open for over 3 months which is impossible for the bay area. After all I waited 3 weeks to get this response.
