I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
One on one interviews with 4 people from different groups within Google. The first part of each interview was conversational, followed by a technical question that was to be answered during the session. The questions were not unfair or brain-teasers, but reasonable technical questions that required some thought and working out on the whiteboard.

The interview lasted about a day, with 5 different interviewers. For each section, the technical questions took most of the part. They also showed me their office in Toronto, which was nice
