Process

An HR representative emailed me to schedule a phone interview. I suggested a date eight days from that Thursday. However, I was surprised when they called the next day. Since it was just the HR round, I provided some basic information about myself and my resume, and I was then prepared for the second round, a technical interview.

If I had passed this round, I might have had one or two more technical phone rounds, followed by an on-site interview. This process was through Google University Recruiting.
