The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
Very difficult interview. The brain teaser was definitely an experience I would like to forget. The process of hiring was long and dragged out. (Was strung along for 6 months before I got a "no") Look elsewhere. If you think this is the norm for Silicon Valley, think again.

How many gallons of paint would it take to paint 1/3 of the houses in the US?
first in person interview after online . First job interview . Interviewer was very kind, and encouraging. It covered both soft skills for communications, and technical questions related to the job requirement
Good and total 5 rounds there. Jam, technical interview, HR round and some more are there. It was good. Nice experience. It was a walk-in drive. More than 300 members attended
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Paris)
Interview
2 phone screens (1 with recruitment and 1 with team member) and 2 on-site interviews ( with 2 managers). Roughly 30mins/interview.Everyone was very friendly, even though the questions were not easy. Lots of questions about experience, no question such as "what are your 3 qualities and weaknesses". Very interested in what I was doing outside of work.
