This review is purely regarding the process, no comments on questions asked or themes. There are many helpful reviews on Glassdoor that did help me very much in preparing. Though the interviews were fun, super stimulating and exciting, I'm here to tell you about the emotional roller coaster that is Google's process.
My biggest take away from my five month journey was seeing how they're feeding a cycle of hiring a certain type of person. From a very particular socio-economic background. Google is hiring those that can afford to apply. Recent grads? I hope you can move back in with your parents.
Don't at any point believe this will be quick. Don't plan on being able to survive this unemployed without a large savings, financial assistance from a partner or family, or/and the strangers you might meet and share with them that you're interviewing at Google and then they will share with you a story they heard about their doctor's cousin's kid who spent seven months interviewing there. These stories will help but they won't make it any easier. I am one of those stories now. From first email contact with a recruiter to my last interview, which might not be my last interview, it look five months.
This will only be quick once you land the first screening and then the next two interviews. If you pass through these three and then they throw you in the pool of active candidates... good luck mate. Keep your head up and know you're worth it. This pool is what I've come to understand is a bit like online dating, except you don't have any power to swipe through. Teams have access to these candidates and if your profile looks like it'll be a good fit, then they can request an interview with you. I've gone through two of these already. Two half-blind dates with two different teams. And I'm still an active candidate, so who knows. Maybe Google will ghost me. Or maybe in two months someone will request another interview.
I personally don't believe this process is healthy or efficient in hiring on a more diverse set of employees. Good luck!

Give an example of a time you had to make a difficult decision
The prorcess was very professional. Went through 3 rounds of interview, all online. Prepare very thoroughly if you want to make it through. They know when you are not prepared so don’t just try to wink it.

They will want to know if you fit into their culture.

Interview process was great. Definitely research the process online as others have described their process and how to thoroughly respond to interview questions. Was then placed in a “pool” waiting on team interviews, never got a call back. Suspect there wasn’t really an opening or was filled internally. Was told to continue to follow up, which I did. It’s been years now and my application was closed.

I sent my resume through a friend's recommendation, after 2 days received a link to take a personality test.
It was very easy, but 2 days later I received an email saying that I would not continue in the process.
