I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Bit of round-and-round on finding an appropriate time to interview, despite my being flexible.
Once at Google, which I knew fairly well from having multiple friends working there, it was a straightforward process of sitting in a conference room, and having multiple interviewers come and ask questions.

Initial intro call, prep time , prep material provisions,
1 Phone Screening by HR, 3 DSA, 1 HLD and 1 Googliness, Team matching and offer negotiation and offer discussion , offer acceptance
After clearing all the interviews in 2 months, here comes the team match. Where no one ever knows when they gonna get a team match call. Even if you get the TM call next comes the HC again no one knows why they reject.

Question 1
Coding questions from Leetcode google tagged but deep dived into it based on the level.
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
