I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Google
Interview
I got one phone interview with the NYC office in the spring of 2014. The recruiter gave a detailed interview preparation guide, which unfortunately covered every position possible and not the specific position I was applying for. During the phone interview, I was asked to do code implementation on the spot using Google Docs.

Given a list of absolute file paths, implement a function to store all the paths in a tree, and a function to retrieve all the paths.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Very friendly recruiter, she took the time to go through the overall process. I appreciated the attitude.
Sadly I did not match the jobs requirements so it didn't go further than the first HR meeting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical HR questions asking about experience, technologies used...etc
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
LinkedIn HR called, phone interview, then onsite interviews, HR was calling frequently to update status (good), one of the interview was just too cold, he wasn't very responsive throughout
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
The interviewer asked 2questions.
One coding question although I wrote the package and relevant classes to be used to solve the problem. Interviewer was not happy, as I wrote code in Java and the interviewer expected it in some other language of his preference. They made me prepare DS, Algorithms, OS, System Design. And asked a non-relevant question not part of any of the subjects asked to prepare. They boast aroud their "Reduced Four" interview process. But, their interviewers need more trainings. Ethical interviews, unethical practices like the EU antiTrust fine.
