Another Googler (joined late 2016). I would say that the orientation has been pretty scripted for a while given the volume of new candidates. It's actually other of the things I would expect to go most smoothly over GVC (video conference) or live stream. Meeting your actual team and learning from them by overhearing conversations and answering questions is going to be the real challenge. I recommend asking to be added to more meetings than you usually would, so you have maximum opportunity to call in and absorb information.
