I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google

I was first contacted by email and asked to fill out a form for my interests and preferences. I then had two 45 minute technical interviews over the phone, with live coding on Google Docs. The process was quick and everyone involved was really helpful and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical coding interview questions on topics such as algorithms. I indicated that my preferred language was C, so all questions were in that language.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Went through the usual rounds: Recruiter contact, 2 back to back phone tech interviews and host matching. Host matching took the longest portion of the interview time but the overall cycle took only about a month and a half from initial contact to offer. Overall pretty fluid experience, but I think my process was on the faster side because I had another offer deadline forcing the speed.
