Process

The process begins with an initial phone call to speak with the recruiter.

Next, you'll have a phone interview with an engineer. If that interview goes well, you'll be invited to Mountain View for an in-person interview.

The in-person interview consists of five back-to-back one-on-one sessions with a lunch break. If this stage is successful, you'll proceed to team selections.

After choosing a team, you'll go to the hiring committee. There are no further interviews at this stage; they simply review your previous work.

If the hiring committee approves your application, you'll receive an official offer. You'll then discuss the compensation package with your recruiter, and once approved, you'll receive your contract.
