I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2019
Interview
Applied online, recruiter emailed about similar position, passed phone screen, did not pass first round 45 minute phone interview. Interviewer had wrong resume on call, gave positive feedback during call, likely gave negative feedback to hiring team. Recruiter viewed my LinkedIn profile 3 days after phone interview. I emailed the following day and received rejection email in response. No feedback provided per company policy.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very long process usually 6-8 Rounds but fair. The process starts with a recruiter call
Then hiring manager and then a manager from another group then the team leads interviews. It was intense but fair they send your answers to a hiring board.

Overall they are looking for sturctured thinking , problem solving skills,communication and clarity of though.
Do more of product design cases and that should definitely help you out.
