Process

I was contacted via email by a recruiter after submitting my solutions for the 3rd level of Google Foobar. We set up a call.

The recruiter was very friendly, and the phone screening lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. I was asked about my previous experience, if I would be willing to move, and which role I was more comfortable with: front-end or back-end.

After this, the recruiter asked for my resume via email to schedule the first technical interview.

The technical interview was done through Google Docs. It was not hard at all; the problem was very simple. The only problem I found was that the interviewer had a very thick Indian accent, and I spent most of the interview trying to figure out what the interviewer was trying to say. I started solving the problem, and when I got stuck, the interviewer tried to help me. However, because of the accent, I couldn't understand and got distracted, ultimately failing to finish the code :(

My advice: if you are not familiar with Indian accents, practice to sharpen your ear.
