I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Austin, TX) in Aug 2020
Interview
It was a step by step process:
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I shared my resume.
I received an email the next day asking for my availability for an interview. I gave 5 optional dates 1 month away, but rescheduled later.
I received another email after 3 days, confirming the date and time, along with the interview process information and preparation guidelines.
Technical Round: There was one Engineer on the call, and the link to code pad was already shared. We connected, and the interview took off in a minute.

The interview lasted about a day, with 5 different interviewers. For each section, the technical questions took most of the part. They also showed me their office in Toronto, which was nice
