I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Boulder, CO) in Apr 2008
Interview
Initial stages of the interview were fairly routine. Phone interview was a little bit technical, but reasonable.
In person interview ended up with me failing to properly code an algorithm on the board, and the interviewer basically ending the interview at that point. Memorize your algorithms before this one, because merely knowing the algorithms properties and being able to look it up won't be good enough for this guy.
Startup got bought out by google and ended up with a bit of an attitude. Google thinks they walk on water.
