Interview
I had an interview with a Googler from my campus. I showed him my portfolio and we talked about some of the work I had done. The interview was fairly unremarkable in terms of the questions asked and its general pace. I was told that someone will let me know, but that never happened.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Sandy, UT) in Jan 2008
Interview
The internal recruiter was great to deal with. Once I got through to the design managers though it was different. I had two phone interviews. An hour and a half went by past the scheduled time, which really sucks when you have a current job and you are trying to make time for an interview. I called the recruiter back and she found that the hiring manager was confused about the times and warned me that she was really annoyed about it. When the HM called me it was obvious she was in a terrible mood. The interview was fine, the questions were good design questions about how you might handle different scenarios of interaction, but she was grouchy and had enough of an accent that was hard to understand at times.
The second interview was with a designer. She was obviously talking on her cell phone as she distractedly walked down the street. By this point I honestly didn't want to work with these people. The feeling was apparently mutual.
