I had interviews for a Google SWE role this year. I do not leak specific questions, but instead let me share my timeline of the process.

The hiring process is rumored to be slow, but the overall experience was positive since they gave me updates regularily. If you too are being interviewed, please refer to this timeline, but note that the timeline can vary depending on the location, role, and hiring situation.
