I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online after reading an ad on Linkedin, required no questions or cover letter to be submitted, just a good resume. About a month later, I got an email asking for phone interview which had to be rescheduled for a couple of days (with notice). Questions were short and easy, phone interview went for around 15-20 minutes in duration followed by questions I had prepared for the interviewer.
