I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2020
Interview
Got HR call several days after submitting application, standard questions about myself and why google. First round technical phone call was about a design of a game, I got confused initially when I hear "design a game" as I was not prepared for a "system design" type interview, after a quick clarification, I formulated the problem into a graph problem and successfully solved it, interviewer then went on and asked some graph theoretical questions. The one-site consisted of 3 coding, 1 system, and 1 behavior. Codings were not standard LC questions as they require candidate to define the tasks and input. I completely bombed the system design interview.

Difícil porém gratificante poder trabalhar em uma das maiores empresas de tech do mundo. Quando você passar, vera que todo seu sacrifício valeu a pena, tendo estudado para essa entrevista.
Very clean and transparent process, everything explained and well organized. 6 interviews, 4 algorithm, 1 system design, 1 behavioral. After the first interview you book 5 others (you may do it in one or two days). They calling back even if they don’t continue to signing to explain why not and where exactly you failed.
