I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2016
Interview
Started with a call with the recruiter then went on to an interview with a PM - this was mainly behavioural and design questions. They seemed to be looking for a specific framework to your response which I was not aware of at the time - it is only after doing more courses in HCI and design thinking that I realized that my answer wasn't structured the way they wouold've desired.

Claude responded: The hiring process consists of a CV screening stage, followed by a behavioral online assessment, and then wraps up with a 30-minute interview with the team.

They asked what my favorite product was and how I would make it better. The entire interview was mostly centered around the product that I chose and my thinking about it.
5 interviews on-site with different team members.
It was hard to go from a friendly office tour to a deeply technical CS question first thing in the morning! However, it got easier after the first question and everyone was very friendly.
PS- The office is very fun too.
