I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Coding sample/challenge => back-to-back (45 mins each) technical phone interviews => hiring committee approval => project search/host match phase => call with potential hosts => move forward with host => final offer approval.
The interviews themselves went smooth, however the entire process is very annoying and long. There were usually 3 weeks between each of those steps. Project search phase is very stressful and you are not guaranteed a match. They should have at least one behavioral interview instead of only focusing on technical skills.
