I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2018
Interview
Their interview process is extremely professional. During the interview process, the interviewer will ask you to program (write actual code!!) in a pre-opened GoogleDoc. After questions about your projects and why you choose Google, he would let you answer an algorithm question. I got a phone call several weeks after and got rejected.
