El proceso para ser entrevistado es largo y tedioso. Tiene diversas fases empezando por mandar el curriculum el cual no te responden a no ser que sea positivo. La segunda fase es una llamada y la tercera una prueba técnica que es un algoritmo a resolver en un tiempo determinado.

Interview
You can look up how this goes on YouTube. You get an online assessment with two problems, and if you pass you do two more problems over the phone while sharing a code editor. That's how far I got. I thought both interviewers were somewhat rude, especially the second one from NY. The first guy called me from Mountain View. For the latter, she seemed pretty condescending throughout the technical interview session. This all took place on Dec 2020 if anyone from google is wondering.
