• Answer:

  I was a UX design intern at Google main headquarters, Mountain View in Summer 2013. Intern applications at Google are pretty much straightforward - either Google would approach your university through official channels for intern recruitment, or you can apply for the position through https://www.google.com/about/jobs/. Although Google did visit my campus (IIT Guwahati) for intern recruitment sometime in September 2012, they did not have any openings for UX Designers at that point of time. Openings for UX design interns at Mountain View were released sometime in the month of October (on Google Jobs). I applied through this channel early in December, once I was convinced and confident about my resume and portfolio. The application form on the website is pretty much straightforward - a cover letter, a resume and a portfolio link. I believe the resume is the most critical here - it is the most common & preferred way to scrutinize candidates for shortlisting for further rounds. I received a notification from Google for my first round of interview around January 15th. I had my interview on January 23rd, which lasted for around 45 minutes over Hangouts. I then received a confirmation for two more rounds of interviews on Jan 30th, this time telephonic. These were held on January 31st and Feb 5th respectively, and each lasted around 45 minutes again. I then received my final confirmation of acceptance on February 12 with the offer letter coming in the next day. The interviews were a lot of fun - it never felt as if you were being scrutinized. Almost all of them involved a portfolio walk through wherein 1 - 2 of my major projects were discussed. Overall, the best advice I could give to prepare for these interviews is to be thorough with your resume, portfolio and projects. Needless to say, it's also handy to keep pen / paper handy and be in a quiet place for your telephonic interviews. Overall, the process was extremely smooth, transparent and most importantly, swift. Post acceptance, Google also provided assistance in obtaining my J-1 Visa, arrangements for housing, flight tickets etc. My internship began in the first week of May and lasted for 12 weeks.
