Had to spend hours preparing for interview and then never heard back from recruiter. I finally found out I was rejected when a friend looked my name up in HR
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Sep 2014
Interview
Phone interview and in-person interview (which went for close to an hour)
The phone screen was very basic - just sussing out your motivation for Google, asking you what your favourite Google product was and why.
The in-person interview was incredibly detailed. It required you to have knowledge of the whole suite of Google products and an incredibly detailed understanding of Google's advertising products like the Google Display Network and Adwords.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY)
Interview
Sent in resume various times but hadn't heard back from a recruiter till I was referred. I sent in resume and cover letter and within 10 days had an initial phone call.
No crazy out of the blue questions asked- more just seeing if I could answer questions articulately.
Next step they flew me to the office to interview- 3 interviews in 2 hours. Most questions were expected and relevant to the job - but if you're applying to the ads team make sure you do obviously some background research on the ads ecosystem.
Lastly, I heard back from them about 2 weeks later that I received the role, and then had 3 start dates to choose from.
