I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview. I had about a 35 min conversation. It went really well. I was invited to take a logic and essay test. A day later I was contacted and told they would not be going further with the interviewing process…I guess that means I didn’t pass the test or they didn’t like my essay! Oh well I guess the 10+ years experience doesn’t count against logic questions and a four page essay!

Question 1
You have $50,000 to plan a offsite...What location would you choose and how would you plan the site
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Dublín, Dublín) in Jan 2010
Interview
Process began in early December. I firstly had a phone interview and then was invited to take logical reasoning tests. Fine so far, waited 3 weeks to hear that they would like me to attend on site interviews. 5 interviews later, over 2 weeks, no job offer. A long and labour intensive exercise. The people were lovely and made you feel at ease, actually interviews didn't contain many tough questions but process has left me drained. Make sure you really want the job before embarking on it.
