I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
My resume was submitted via their internal employee referral system. Maybe a week later, I was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone interview. The questions asked during this phone interview were a basic screen, asking me to elaborate upon my most recent work experience on my resume. It lasted about 30 minutes. I was then told that I would hear back by the end of the week, which I did. I received an email from the recruiter saying that I would not be asked for the next interview (which would have been a 60 min phone interview). At the beginning of the following week, the recruiter contacted my friend who had referred me and offered to share the results of my interview. I found it extremely helpful to be able to get feedback. I very much appreciated the transparency of the process and professionalism of the recruiter. This was definitely one of my most pleasant interview experiences.

Question 1
Tell me about your previous role as... (most recent job on resume).
Do you have any questions for me?
The prorcess was very professional. Went through 3 rounds of interview, all online. Prepare very thoroughly if you want to make it through. They know when you are not prepared so don’t just try to wink it.

Question 1
They will want to know if you fit into their culture.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Interview process was great. Definitely research the process online as others have described their process and how to thoroughly respond to interview questions. Was then placed in a “pool” waiting on team interviews, never got a call back. Suspect there wasn’t really an opening or was filled internally. Was told to continue to follow up, which I did. It’s been years now and my application was closed.

Cannot expand on this, look into questions on YouTube
I sent my resume through a friend's recommendation, after 2 days received a link to take a personality test.
It was very easy, but 2 days later I received an email saying that I would not continue in the process.
