I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
First round phone. Second round phone technical. Third round in-person with 5 separate interviews in a single day with various people in the department that will hire you. Some of the in-person interviews are technical, but others are just behavioral to get an idea if you are a good fit at google.
Initial intro call, prep time , prep material provisions,
1 Phone Screening by HR, 3 DSA, 1 HLD and 1 Googliness, Team matching and offer negotiation and offer discussion , offer acceptance
After clearing all the interviews in 2 months, here comes the team match. Where no one ever knows when they gonna get a team match call. Even if you get the TM call next comes the HC again no one knows why they reject.

Coding questions from Leetcode google tagged but deep dived into it based on the level.
The interview lasted about a day, with 5 different interviewers. For each section, the technical questions took most of the part. They also showed me their office in Toronto, which was nice
