I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
They were very prepared to ask thought-challenging questions both in the phone interviews, and in person. Writing code for them (whiteboard) during the in-person interview is a key part of their process.
The people were friendly, very professional, and wasted little time in the meetings.

Write an algorithm to sort and merge 2 LARGE data streams on a system where storage is essentially unlimited (but slow) and RAM is limited.
After clearing all the interviews in 2 months, here comes the team match. Where no one ever knows when they gonna get a team match call. Even if you get the TM call next comes the HC again no one knows why they reject.
