Process
It depends largely on the seniority of the role you’re applying for and your background. Someone formerly employed by a competitor like Google might progress faster than a fresh grad vying for an entry-level position.
Many employees on Quora report long lulls between interview rounds (to the tune of several weeks or months), so don’t get discouraged if you don’t hear back right away.
According to Indeed:
- 26% of employees reported the interview process took two weeks.
- 23% said about a month.
- 19% reported waiting longer.
