I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2014
Interview
Google continues to play the game of "20 questions" despite the fact that it has admitted that a better approach to finding good employees would be to determine whether the potential employee plays well with others. The Google interviewers are typically young and therefore inexperienced with the interview process, and hence don't know how to interview a candidate effectively.
