I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in May 2010
Interview
The process was good.
1) IQ Test - Talked about general internet knowledge
2) 1:1 with a fresher (this is what i felt about the interviewer)
3) 1:1 with a manager level employee (asked a lot of analytical questions)
4) 1:1 with VP ( he was a grad from a top B school) (This interview went off very well. I thought this was the last round and got the job in my pocket.
Later they tell me to comeback after a few days for some more face-face interview.
5) 2:1 interview with employees who works in the OSO division. (This got a bit tricky. He started asking me technical questions which are not related to the position at hand) It went on for almost over an hour. I felt this was a bit out of scope of the questions they were asking.
Rest I really liked the way they take care of you.
I thought I did well but did not get an offer
