I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2017
Interview
Talked with a software dev and an APM, was asked a total of 4 questions through the course of two 45 minute phone call interviews. Technical questions were tough but manageable. APM questions were wildly abstract and not at all like anything I had been told to prepare

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.
