I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2019

The process in 2019
HR Screen > Phone Screen with a PM > On-site (5 interviews).
On-Site, included lunch with a Googler. Claimed to be non-evaluative. I was disappointed to have 2/3 of my on-sites on Google meet, that threw me off guard.
What questions to expect?
The on-site interview process included questions from product design, product strategy, product pricing and a technical interview.
It's hard to level set for this interview. Speaking to others, the level of difficulty can be broad, and the type of questions can vary.
For example, for a technical interview, I was asked a DFS algorithm question ( Even though I studied CS, I am not an engineer and I was applying for a PM role). Whereas an acquaintance was asked a 'system design' question.
Although, I do think you can expect fewer behavioural questions and more case/technical questions.
They don't do brain teasers. I think they published findings that those questions don't relate to job performance.

Question 1
Technical: A question that had you build/use Depth-First -Search (DFS) in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Of course, the question wasn't presented as such.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Hyderabad) in Nov 2018

It was good but need follow up with the recruiter. You need to be in touch with him over email on a regular basis. But anyway it was good , if there is a real requirement they will be after you

2 to 3 rounds of phone interviews. Followed by in-person interviews at the Mountain View campus. Interviews are all technical in nature. Mostly expected to understand and whiteboard design and solution. Questions will be mostly based on your approach and design methodologies.
