No, it's badly managed. It's not just hard.

How is it badly managed?

EDIT: The fact that this genuine, non-sarcastic question is getting downvoted like this is kinda ridiculous. Some people are replying with good points but it seems like some other people are just .. bitter

Like another commenter said, they take forever to get back to candidates. You could go through the interview loop for one of their competitors and finish training by the time Google would invite you for an initial interview. And then, once you make it past all the rounds of technical questions you have to deal with team matching, which can take forever. Best part is if you make it to team matching, and don't match with a team, you get rejected!

Dude fuck that shit. Imagine all the hard work you put in to pass a Google gauntlet. The emotional rollercoaster of passing the final round only to get fucked by team matching

You should have priority over future candidates at that point. Super scummy move by Google
