I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
Received an Email from one of the recruiters requesting for a time slot to set-up a phone interview. I was asked to learn about the Google products, research their competitors and be prepared for design related questions for the interview.
In the phone interview I was asked mostly design-related questions, like , how can to optimize the search process, how can you design a voice inout search engine etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2009
Interview
Interview process was fairly insulting for a high level position. The process seemed geared to evaluating recent college graduates, not anyone with real world experience. Focused on evaluating hypothetical situations and thought problems instead of the tons of real experience I had. The people who do the interviewing are not those in the same group you would work with (I was told this was a Google policy), so no chance to evaluate personality fit with future coworkers.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2009
Interview
I received an email scheduling a phone call interview. On the phone the interviewer asked very generic and easy questions about Google (what is Google's primary source of revenue?) and soon it was over. I thought it was just a screening interview and I checked that I had nailed all the answers. I got an email later ending the process. I'm still confused about the experience as it lost mine and their time.
