I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google in Sept 2014
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me after I was recommended by a former intern. The whole process took < 2 weeks. I had two back-to-back phone interviews, an hour each. Most of the time was spent solving two coding problems each interview, with a few culture-type questions at the end. I got an e-mail a day later with an offer.

The interview process involves long, complex processes and extensive candidate analysis, with plentiful of interviews, screening rounds, and evaluations. Although it was very organization and able to know the status, the entire process was quite extensive, looking for the right person.
