I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Contacted through Linked-In. Had an initial interview and then a technical interview. I was then asked to do a design project. About 10 hrs of work is suggested, but the project is very extensive. I spent a lot more time. A week after submitting the project I was told I was giving the wrong project to do (!). I could do another project to remain in consideration. After some thought I decided to do a second project, but that's where the journey ended

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The first phone screen with their internal recruiter and then designer interview (phone screen) that I had to walk through some of my projects. It took a couple of month but overall it was great experience. Recruiters are really nice so Even though I didn't get to the next step, I wasn't that upset.

Interview
There were several steps: An initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by a phone interview with a designer, followed by a design exercise, followed by an on site day with several interviews. That's as far as my process went.
