What about being a new hire? Do they get generally approved or denied?

Anecdatum: a coworker who joined mid-pandemic was approved for remote work.

Thanks! But mid pandemic would be a year ago right? Not quite what I was thinking of as new hire, though cool to know regardless.

Yeah, but he applied for remote work when he was still pretty new. I don't remember exactly when, but only a few months in.

If you haven't been hired yet, I recommend checking the box for "remote-eligible jobs" and telling the recruiter that's what you want.

Full disclosure I work at Google.
