For those of you who work at Google. Is it even worth applying to a role and / or how long did the application process take?

Honestly you’ve gotta know someone. Otherwise you’ll get lost in the pile. Work your contacts.

Yes they hire through referrals

Hiring through referrals is best but doesn’t mean people don’t get through. Also, Ivy League degrees can help, yes, but not a prerequisite

like

Worth it. Referrals help, but NOT mandatory. Not sure where this rumor got started or why it persists. You also do not need an Ivy League degree. Suggest you look at your resume and adjust it to be very concise and outcome focused. What did you do? Why did you do it? What outcome did it have? It’s a great place to work.

+1 to what Google 1 said.
Get a referral if you can. Ensures your application is reviewed. Cold applying risks your application not being seen - it's a numbers game.
Definitely worth it. Great salary, benefits, stock, rewards for high performance, culture and smart and NICE (mostly) ppl. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a great place to work.
My advice would be to research and prep yourself for your interviews. Really think about why YOU for that role, research all aspects of the job and product(s) you'll be working with. Be clear on the impact you've driven. Google loves impact!
Good luck!

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
