First had a phone screen with Google recruiter. When the recruiter thought I was an eligible candidate, we set up a time a few weeks later for a 45min phone technical interview with a software engineer.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in May 2022
