I spent quite a bit of time last year looking into the hiring processes/recommendations of various big companies, and Google was generally the one I came away most impressed/convinced by, in terms of how much I expect their hiring decisions to correlate with employee quality. I’d actually claim it’s much better than most other companies (of any size), and probably has had a positive influence on hiring as a whole through people copying their processes.
I’m not convinced it needs to take as long as it does, and that might be evidence of bloat/ dysfunction. But other than that, I don’t think Google’s hiring process is dysfunctional.
