Process
Soft Skills Phone Interview --> Google Doc Technical Interview --> On-Site Interview.
I haven't been for the on-site yet, but the initial phone interview was 30 minutes and very straightforward.
- Explain your background.
- Ask any questions about Google.
- Be able to speak.
The technical Google Doc interview had just two questions, although I think we would have gone to a third if we had time. I explained my answers and walked them through each step, went slowly, and asked clarifying questions. They weren't difficult questions at all.
