I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2010
Interview
We started by trying to share a google doc. The recruiter was ill-skilled to even get a google doc to share, very disappointing and frustrating to start the interview by simply thinking of the quality of the recruiter itself (who can be a potential colleague). Asked me stupid puzzle questions which are primarily aimed at undergrads and I was into my 3years of PhD, working in areas of web-search that I felt a deep sense of disappointment inside me and I decided to casually spent the time before he help up.

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.
