I interviewed at Google
Interview
3 quick interviews - asked about past jobs. Was also asked to white board on architecture and execution. Was interviewed by a Director, Principal Engineer and another Director. 45 minute interviews. Made an offer the next week.
Interview process was slightly longer than other companies. Coordinating scheduled on the calendar and email responses were slower than other larger tech companies that I was talking to at the same time.
