I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublín, Dublín) in Jun 2013
Interview
Consisted of 2 phone interviews and 1 on-site interview.
1st phone interview was basically a 'get to know you' type of call. The lady from Google was incredibly helpful and kind (and continued to be throughout the entire process).
2nd call was a detailed role-play that involved me being a Googler talking to the marketing manager of a fictional bank. It took a lot of preparation, but it went well. I was invited to an on-site.
The on-site consists of 3 interviews. I thought each one went quite well, if not exceedingly well, and was quietly confident that I would be offered a place. Unfortunately it didn't happen. I think it must have been my lack of experience, but I was very disappointed as I thought I could have excelled in the role. That said, the process was OK, all the staff that I met were nice, and the recruiter in particular was fantastic. I was interviewed through an internal referral. I don't think that they would have looked at my CV if I wasn't referred internally.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Ann Arbor, MI)
Interview
5 interviews over the course of a few weeks, last interview was with the director of the org. This was in 2016, so they were asking questions that weren't as pertinent to the role at that time.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Very short process. I only had three interviews: one with a Talent Partner, one with a strategist and another with a manager. They asked me about my background and interest in the role. They also asked situational questions like what I do if X happened as a strategist or if client Y with this background needed your advertising advice what would you recommend.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Dublín, Dublín)
Interview
It was one of the best interview processes ever. The recruiter was quite clear. She explained everything in the beginning so I had a transparent process.
The process took around 5 weeks to finalize. Whenever I e-mailed them I received an answer within at least 2 days.
