I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2021
Interview
Phone discussion with recruiter, then two rounds of interviews one of which includes the hiring manager. While the more senior interviewer was very pleasant to speak with, I felt the hiring manager was difficult to communicate with. The next round (which I did not advance to) included another two additional interviewers.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2021
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter to interview for a remote position. Each interview was very non-standard (no tell me about yourself, tell me about x,y,z situation, etc. ), filled with abstract questions presented in a condescending tone. The most eye opening aspect was the lack of diversity in my interviewers (all were white). In all honesty, it felt like these interviews were not conducive to candidates of color. If you are a person of color, please proceed with caution.
Multiple rounds with different members of the team. Planning for at least 4 rounds with leadership. Leadership was all enjoyable and had some personality but also situational rounds. Didn’t share salary until the end of the interview rounds which could be outlined up front.
