Unlike most companies you interview for the entire company and not for a specific team at Google. That means you only know what team you are going to be on after you pass the interview. However, you will always know before you start. It mainly depends on what teams have headcount at that time and are a good fit. You can choose to take a pass on a team you are matched with and wait for another match.
Most of the compliant about Google hiring practice has been along the line of, and I paraphrase "I was promised to be with a team or a position and then I got placed in a totally and differently unrelated position/team"
