Process

I received an email from them since they had my resume on file from a previous application.

I went through a couple of phone screens that involved coding challenges and systems design questions.

Then I had five on-site interviews on the same day at their office. Everybody was nice and friendly, and I also had a non-interview lunch with a Google employee as well. Finally, they gave me some swag at the end.
