I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Very positive experience. Questions are challenging but fun. A lot of imaginary scenarios that tests product sense, execution, strategies and analytical skills. The scheduling is slow and hearing back after interviews takes many weeks.

They asked what my favorite product was and how I would make it better. The entire interview was mostly centered around the product that I chose and my thinking about it.
5 interviews on-site with different team members.
It was hard to go from a friendly office tour to a deeply technical CS question first thing in the morning! However, it got easier after the first question and everyone was very friendly.
PS- The office is very fun too.
