Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and set up for two phone interviews.
I heard back about a week later that I was put into a host matching process, where I would try to be matched to a project.
My recruiter gave me a form to fill out with preferences regarding locations and fields I was interested in, and I was matched with a host about five weeks later.

I learned so much, surrounded by the smartest people. They provide so much food and amenities. Did I mention food? Everyone is treated very well, and every day is a lot of fun. "Do cool things that matter" is a great slogan for any company, but especially for Google because they do so many cool things that matter, such as self-driving cars and Google Now.Cons: It's become a really big company. It has lost its "startup" vibe, if that is something you really care about. There is always a lot of work to be done, and it can be overwhelming.
