I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview process seems entirely focused on efficient searching algorithms and asked no questions to access my knowledge of the area I was interviewing for - in fact none of the interviewers had any background in the area I was interviewing for but rather are somewhat randomly selected. I also found the interviewers to be somewhat unenthusiastic about their jobs and couldn't wait for the day to be over.
