Interview
Initial phone screen with a recruiter, a technical phone interview, then 5 on-site interviews in one of the London offices, finally another phone interview to complement the on-site ones. This all took about 3 months, which was unusually long. I was always kept up to date with the process.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I went through 2 phone interviews + 5 on-site interviews. 1st Phone interview is really simple, no need to be nervous. 2nd one is a more formal. On-site interviews really depend on the interviewers you meet, they're not same level. Some interviewer was just onboard in Google for several month himself.

Question 1
I can't tell the questions. But generally they're medium level questions as leetcode. One coding question is exactly from leetcode. The system design question is arbitrary problem with little hint or feedback, even when I asked for clarification of the requirement, the interviewer didn't say much, almost myself speaking for 45 mins
