Colloquio
HORRIBLE experience. Totally changed my POV of Google. I have nearly 20 years experience and was interviewed by an arrogant 22 year old. he wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise and kept interrupting me. He loved the sound of his own voice and clearly thought the world of himself. He was 10 minutes late. He ended the interview early. He asked me NO questions except the math calculation question below. He answered every question I asked with "it depends on the project and the team". After the interview, Google sent me a link to give "feedback" on their recruiting process. The survey they sent to fill out took over an hour and was 10 pages long! What hubris. Before the interview, to prepare, they send Product folks a long list of books and other assets to read and research. This included a listing of Google products on the Google corp. website, many of which are defunct and no longer exist. From end to end, it was awful, insulting and extremely disrespectful. Off the list!

Very straight forward process though I only went through with two interviews. Phone screening with talent director followed by team leads. Withdrew from process due to the role being on-site 5 days a week.
Very difficult interview loop. Lots of trick questions and brainteaser problems. Even with studying a ton in the leadup I still struggled and ultimately did not receive an offer. Interview process is still similar to what any guide online describes.
