I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in June 2014
Interview
The interview process included three interviews over video conference (hangouts),
Most of them are technical with engineers from all over the world, each interview takes about an hour, the questions were fair and are about general coding problems, you could choose any programming language that you would like but you must write real code.
The recruiter who was very friendly and considerate.

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.
