I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process started with an email and brief phone call with recruiter to establish contact. Next was the technical phone interview which was tough but fair. The interviewer asked basic questions relevant to the position. The interview was more like a discussion rather than a question and response interview. Overall it was enjoyable.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Phone screening followed by on-site interview in Mountain View, CA. First met with the recruiter briefly and then had four consecutive 1 hour one-on-one interviews with engineers. During each interview I showed and described some of my previous work and then they asked me technical questions that I answered or solved on a white board. After the last interview I met with a different recruiter briefly before leaving the campus.

Interview
Very technical phone screening. It was a lot like a final exam with question after question. There were no questions regarding my resume just questions I would be asked if I was dealing with a situation on the job. I was pretty prepared for this interview so it went well.
