I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mumbai) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interviewer was quite satisfied with the approach. He asked me the time complexity of the solution. Also, he wanted me to implement a Trie Data Structure as well. So, I clarified, should I implement the Trie Data Structure first or go onto first implementing the logic to solve the given question

Applied online and heard back within a couple of weeks. Recruiter was friendly and kept me informed throughout. Had an initial screening call followed by a couple of technical rounds — interviewers were professional and gave me space to think through problems out loud. The behavioural questions were pretty standard, nothing unexpected. Overall a positive experience, felt like they genuinely wanted to see you succeed rather than trip you up. Would recommend preparing your data structures and being ready to talk through your reasoning clearly.
It was excellent, I had to take an OA which I passed with flying colors. Then onsite two LC hard, solved easily with dynamic programming. It was a great time at the google HQ.

Interview
A simple hash set problem, and a hard tic tac toe problem with much more details, very chill experience overall, and I think leetcodes and mock interviews indeed helps a lot.
