I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Google (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2015
Interview
Brief phone interview with recruiter for round 1. Round 2 is phone interview with hiring manager. Basic sales and industry questions asked and answered. Hiring manager seemed to be looking for a personality as opposed to a skill set. Google has fantastic training. I would imagine that it's only finding the right team fit that it the main goal.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I applied for the job online in Nov 2014. A recruiter reached out to me in Feb 2015. She asked for my available timing for a phone interview and also asked me to fill out a questionnaire. Two days later, she emails me saying that the position has been filled and she'll be in touch if anything else comes up. Extremely unprofessional. Always had a great opinion about Google and I was naturally very excited when they reached out to me. If they were in advanced stages with a candidate, they should not have reached out to me and got my hopes up high unnecessarily.

Question 1
No questions. The questionnaire was just to fill out time availability.
The process involved a phone interview with the recruiter, three in-person interviews in one visit including the recruiter, sales manager and sales director. Very quick process and offered the role a day later.

Question 1
Nothing really - e.g. how do you demonstrate value in sales process.
