Not really a con of the program, but you have to find your own housing accommodations. Google provides you with stipends to help with the costs!
I'm a returning intern, so I received an offer after the project matching stage. The project matching stage involves a call with a potential host. During this call, you describe your interests, and the host determines if you are a good fit.
The hiring process was pretty good. I was recruited, so I had a slightly different pathway, but the recruiter was always on top of things, and response time was quick.
Team matching was a mess this year. The process started late, and it took about a month for them to make a decision after an interview, which made the process take even longer.
