I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2015
Interview
It was very nice and quick. I got 2 interviews scheduled at the same day, about two weeks after they received my resume. Just 3 days later I got e-mail that they would like to progress my appllication to the final stage - host matching. I was waiting for about 2 weeks. My two hosts were very friendly. I liked a project very much. Fortunately, they were very positive, too.

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.
