The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2011
Interview
As many of my peers have experienced, the interview/recruitment process at Google can seem very lengthy and convoluted. There is little coordination between recruiters for different jobs, so if interviewing for more than one position at a time it's very difficult to understand what the internal process is. It seems that one gets "passed" from one recruiter to another, then can't obtain a response from the original recruiter, and if a new position opens up that seems like a good fit, recruiters will not respond to inquiries. So, if you make it through numerous interviews successfully with positive feedback, even from a department head, you aren't kept on a "flagged" list of people who would actually be a good fit for future openings. You'll need to start from scratch again and hope that your resume gets noticed. The employee referral process is also not made transparent to applicants. This is terribly inefficient (and doesn't seem cost effective) and can be alienating to applicants.

Question 1
(analytical phone interview) What would occur on earth if the sun "went out"?
2 phone screens and then a loop with multiple team members and 1 partner team member. Interview covered topics like analytics, teamwork, product sense and product design. Interviewers also ask how you might challenge your own ideas. Was placed into team matching but recruiter stopped responding and was never matched with a team.

Interview
The interview scheduling was long and had multiple cancellations throughout the process, causing a delay and misalignment in expectations. The interviewer was not prepared/informed on what questions to ask which was really disappointing, especially considering company like Google.
