I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied online with the referral and got the first message from hr only after a month. Hr scheduled me two interviews in a row where I had a 15 minutes break between them. I've solved all the problems (there were two about algorithms and data structures) but it took me a long time to solve the first one. Maybe that's the reason why I wasn't got to host matching and got a refusal (it was again about a month of waiting for the answer from hr).
