Most prolonged interview process ever, but 100% worth the wait and patience. Everything took around 4-5 months. Google’s recruiting team reached out a month after I submitted my application. From the data, only 20%-25% of the 200-1000+ applicants get a phone screen. 15%-20% of the phone screened candidates move forward to virtual onsite. 15%-20% of those candidates move forward with the final virtual onsite. Google wants you to succeed. The recruiting team provides many resources to help you prep for the interviews. 4 interviewers, including the recruiter, from the phone screen—6 questions per interviewer, both behavioral and hypothetical. Unlike Amazon, which does all behavioral questions, Google focuses more on hypothetical questions/scenarios to test your critical thinking skills.

The process is really complicated, questions are really detailed. Need to prepare. Wishing you all huge success! I had 3 rounds and a prep call. Recruiters are really easy going and responsive.
