Interview process
It was a very long process. Got to Team matching phase, but wasn't able to match after several tentatives. The rounds after the full loop (where I got mixed rating) were harder than the techinical ones.

Interview tips
Lots of followups questions that could make you feel uncomfortable and poke holes on your approach. Must be prepared to defend your point and/or switching gears based on the feedback of the interviewers.
Company culture
I really liked the recruiter, and the vast majority of the interviewers. There was one that was super rude, but the rest were nice people.

“It wasn’t about flashy ideas. They wanted to see whether your basic product sense holds up when they push on it.”
“Google told me each round mapped to a specific rubric, but in reality the interviewers just asked whatever they wanted, and my so-called Googliness and execution round turned into Google Photos design plus a geospatial strategy curveball.”
