I'm not sure what role the author is referring to, but I never heard of ordinary job applicants taking 6 months. I applied to Google online for a software engineer position and their recruiter reached out to me the next day. We scheduled an in-person interview a couple weeks later (since I wanted a little time to prepare). After the interview, it took a little under two weeks for them to move forward to meeting potential teams, and one more week for an actual offer to be finalized. It could take longer than this, but they keep candidates in the loop.

- edent 10y agoAuthor here. I'm just going by what the recruiter told me. He was clear that they need to do due diligence and that I could expect up to a 6 month process. I sounds like yours took around 6 weeks - which I still consider to be quite a long time. My friend told me she went through 3 months of interviews. These weren't for Director Level (or whatever Google calls them) but for senior product manager type roles. Of course, neither you nor I have data about the average length from application to onboarding, so it is hard to argue specifics.
