Three years ago I interviewed at Google for an internship here were all the steps I completed:
- Google Foobar to get someone to notice my resume
- First form that asked for general information
- Second form that asked weird behaviour questions like "Do you think people can change"
- First interview with regular leetcode questions
- Second interview was waved because of foobar
- Third form to write your interests/motivation for matchup with a team (No guarantee of having an internship at that point)
- Dropped the whole process because I got an offer somewhere else
The whole process spanned maybe 3 months.
The year after that I re-did the whole process and was ghosted by the recruiter after the first interview, I assume that was because I did not rank high enough and they were waiting to see if I'd make the cut or not.
This process (and the big version for FTE) works to weed-out candidates that aren't motivated to work at Google and I just don't see how else they could be doing it. People have to understand that recruitment at FANG is painful because you will get thousands of SDE applications and you can't really take the time to treat everyone "right".
It does suck.
