I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Interview process was very traditional. One of the project member warmed me up with some basic questions, mainly focusing on high school physics' concepts. After probably 15 minutes, the main interviewer walked in with a laptop asking quite similar questions to the first interviewer, in addition to some soft questions.
Overall, I believe it could have been a successful interview on two accounts-
1) I should have meditated before I walked in. :)
2) It would have been nice, if the recruiter didn't try to hide the team/project information, so the candidate can prepare ahead to the type of mindset is required to solve those problems.
First question/comment out my interviewer mouth was- "so, you know which project you are interviewing for, right?"
In any case, it was a positive interview experience. Both of my interviewers were highly professional and patient through out the interview. I would definitely apply for another position at Google.

Interview
The entire interview process took a long time. Over two months if I'm remembering correctly. That part wasn't so great. However, as stressful as an entire day full of interviews is, I actually really appreciate that now. My stress about technical interviews has always been that if they ask me about something I don't know, I come off looking like an idiot and that is their only impression of me. The 4+ interviews meant that even though I drastically flubbed one, that wasn't their only impression of me. Of course, I still didn't do well enough for Google, but I don't feel like I represented myself terribly because I was able to express different sides and answer a variety of questions.

Interview
Extremely fun and engaging experience that was totally worth it! Definitely the best interview process yet. Some people may find it difficult because the broad topics that were covered but the interviewers are really there to help you along.
