The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sept 2010
Interview
Interviewed with five senior level engineers and a director level manager. Most of them asked senior level questions, i.e. design questions. One asked junior algorithms. Be careful about Google policy, if one interviewer said something bad about you, it's hard to you to get an offer, even though all others want you badly. Take simple algorithm questions seriously, explain to the interviewer like you are tutoring him, otherwise he may think you are missing some key points.
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
