I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2014
Interview
Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter to set up an interview over Hangout. I talked to member of the team and answered some technical questions. I asked the recruiter for rejection feedback but she said Google doesn't provide negative feedback. Not really impressed.
Four interviews broken up over 2-3 days. These include Role Related Knowledge, Googleyness & Leadership, General Cognitive Analysis, and Technical Judgement. This is about as much as I can provide on these topics.
Took over a year. The interview process was incredibly drawn out and insanely long. In the end I couldn't find a match. The manager I met with crossed her arms and actually rolled her eyes at me as soon as I said hello and asked her how her day was going.

Question 1
How do you prioritize multiple projects with impeding timelines
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2023
Interview
It was a long and tedious interview process. The recruiter forgot about me several times and they were the one who contacted me. I had to keep following up. I had a screen with the recruiter, then a follow up call with a TPM for questions the recruiter couldn't answer, then a first interview with TPM. After that I would have had an onsite day long interview.
