Interview
Online OA followed by a phone interview.
After that there are four rounds onsite interviews. Two rounds followed by a lunch and then the other rounds. The questions are not very hard, all medium difficulty questions in leetcode. The process is very standard. The HR is very nice, and give very useful tips in the process.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at YouTube in Oct 2024
Interview
Long and slow. There were four rounds of interviews spanning over a month and they don't get back to you quickly. The interviews themselves were ok and took an hour each.
The interview process was demanding as they asked several questions about my masters degree thesis and on my research projects, which were challenging to remember as I had done these more than 7 years ago.
