The process is great. I spent a lot of time discussing with the problems. However my ability is not enough so finally I failed... (Fill up to 30 fill fill)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Rochester, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview lasted for 90 min. Two interviews 45 min each. None of my interviewers spent more than 20 seconds talking about my background. Your approach to a algorithm tech problem is paramount. Language of the questions is very contrived, but if you can break them down in simple terms, they are pretty standard (easy to medium on leetcode).

Question 1
They asked two standard leetcode style question, but in contrived language.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Wellesley, MA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Two back to back technical interviews, 45 min each. Interviewers are really helpful and give a lot of hints. Sometimes they will let you pass if they think you understand the problem. They would use about 10min to talk about what they do at Google and then jump right in. I coded in Java.
