I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Hyderabad) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online and was asked to come onsite for a face to face interview. Everyone was very laid back and very nice. The office was very cool and playful. The interviewers mainly asked a lot of IQ questions to test how one thinks. The interview lasted for about 5 hours including lunch. I heard back from recruiter in about 2 weeks.
Interview process is structured and challenging. Questions focus on problem solving, behavioral fit, and communication. Interviewers are professional. Preparation is key, competition is intense, but overall a positive experience.
