I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2017
Interview
There are two sessions of 45 minutes each with two different software engineers. The interviewers describe the problem on shared Google doc and ask for the optimum solutions first before you proceed for the brute-force solution. Then the interviewer asks for the complexity of the algorithm that you are going to design. And finally the best solution proceed with coding.

I applied online. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
It wasnt difficult but pretty long. They asked me for an interview after I applied online and then I had to prepare for 2 back to back phone interviews. It was the engineering practicum and I applied pretty late around November. Which is probably a big reason why its was harder to get into because they already filled a lot of slots.
