I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at YouTube (San Bruno, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter for Google, asked to set a technical phone screen. The screening was pretty difficult: Two technical questions, with solutions being coded in a shared Google Doc. No behavioral questions. He told me I was interviewing for a job at YouTube, but he was not a YouTube employee. Google wants all potential employees to be equally assessed so you are interviewed by anyone in the company. Was asked to do an onsite two weeks later.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at YouTube (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The recruiter reached out directly to me on LinkedIn. I had an initial phone call with recruiter and was moved directly to the onsite interview (scheduled a few weeks later). The onsite consisted of 5 interviews with lunch in the middle on what you would expect to be asked.
