I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Calgary, AB) in Oct 2020
Interview
Phone interview with PM + virtual onsite. The interviewer did not seem to be interested in hearing my answer as he was sometimes on mute and took some time to respond to me when I asked follow-up questions. Was supposed to be 45 minutes but it took longer than 45 minutes. Overall was a good experience though because now I know what I need to expect in PM interviews.

They asked what my favorite product was and how I would make it better. The entire interview was mostly centered around the product that I chose and my thinking about it.
5 interviews on-site with different team members.
It was hard to go from a friendly office tour to a deeply technical CS question first thing in the morning! However, it got easier after the first question and everyone was very friendly.
PS- The office is very fun too.
