Interview
Application
I was reached out directly by another Quantitative Analyst for tech screen. He was very late when he called me and told me since we are late, lets begin and started asking questions directly. Questions were easy but he would complicate it by asking weird questions around it.
He didn't introduce himself nor asked about my background and I had to ask those things myself when he said do you have any questions? I can't believe this is how Google conducts interviews without any recruiter and some guy reaching out directly who is not punctual and doesn't have any etiquette to introduce himself or tell about team and role. (Foreign accent), It's been weeks since I interviewed and there is no feedback or update as I expected.
Also, you cannot expect someone to solve math problem verbally when formula is complicated and involves square root calculation

Interview
Applied online in late May as a recent PhD graduate. E-mailed by a recruiter within a week, who scheduled a phone call with her for mid-June and had me fill out a questionnaire describing my data analysis experiences and statistical skills. The phone call was 5 minutes where she told me the next step would be a technical Hangouts interview with a Data Scientist and to study applied statistics and programming in a Google Doc. My interview was scheduled for early July. In the Hangouts interview, he asked just stats questions, no programming. I was unable to solve the last problem, he didn't really provide any hints. The next day the recruiter told me I would not be moving on.

Interview
Applied online Mid-September. Got a call from HR on October asking me some background questions and telling me more details about the position. I had to fill out a form talking about an interesting project I had worked on. One week later, I had a technical interview with an engineer that asked me about that project and other questions related to linear regression methods.
