I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in May 2017
Interview
Two phone interviews which required me to code on a Google Doc. Overall the experience was very fun, with good technical questions to choose from. However, my first interviewer was 20 minutes late to the phone call and really disrupted the interview process (had some awkward explaining to do to my next interviewer who called during my first interview). I told my recruiter about it, but the delay threw everyone off a little bit, myself included. Personally, I don't believe this happens too often with Google interviews, I just happened to get less fortunate experience this time around.
