I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I received a coding challenge and after completing it and waiting for a response, I got scheduled for the technical phone interview. For my phone interview I had two of them back to back. They were both with Google Software Engineers and they both asked me one technical question with a couple of follow-up questions and edits I had to make to my answer.

Question 1
Given a list of ranges, return them as a list
a = [[1,5], [7,8], [20]].
=> [1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20]
As expected from a Google interview, it consists of a phone interview and a technical interview. In my opinion, with the skill level Google is looking for, the interview is fair and accurately tests the ability of a candidate. I imagine the interview for full-time positions is harder, but as an intern, I felt that it was the right amount of difficulty and complexity.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
