The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Took four months and was incredibly disorganized. I interviewed 3 times. Most questions were hypothetical / case studies. Two of the three interviewers were friendly. One kept talking about the amount of minutes left (the interview was 30 minutes) as if he was anxious to leave. At one point he was pretty condescending regarding my answer. They were never proactive / reached out to me with next steps. I always had to follow up to get a response and move on to the next stage.
I received 2 offers - One for a senior position that they gave "by mistake" and pulled the offer. They then gave a second offer for a role that was much lower (40%) which I declined.
At the four month mark I stopped following up. Keeping my schedule open for interviews for that long impacted my job. No company is worth that kind of hassle, and I'm surprised to say that Google's interview process was the worst I have ever come across in my career. And I interview people for a living.

Recruiter screening, then onsite interviews - arranged the onsite interview one after one. It's onsite interview but you also get to choose video conference if it's not confident. Interviewer can be based in anywhere.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Singapur)
Interview
3 interviews via Google hangout & 1 in person interview on campus. Really enjoyed my conversations with all the interviewers, impressive people, very open and transparent about their work at Google and expectations for the role. However, during the process the recruiter handling my candidacy changed four times and at after my 4 interviews I had an update they were making a decision and heard nothing. I emailed my recruiter several times and didn’t get any response. This has left a bad impression and it’s a terrible candidate experience.
