I Applied online through their website. heard back from them in 1 week (or 2), which was quite surprising. the guy who schedules my interviews was very nice and answered all my questions regarding the interviews. I had 3 phone interviews each with a different Googler. the first two were really good and the interviewers helped me to get the correct answers and were quite nice and patient. the third one was not so good though as I had difficulty understanding the guy (he had a very strong accent).

Question 1
no can do. The questions were quite straightforward though, just need to know how to code in C++ and have a bit of experience in solving routine questions (like string proccesing).
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
I had three 45-minute technical interviews in succession. The first interviewer had a very thick and unintelligible accent, and acted angry and disappointed, but the other two made me feel very comfortable. Overall, I got the impression the interviewers were kind and cared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write an algorithm to construct run length encodings of arbitrary strings where repeated instances of the same character get replaced with [number of times character appears] + [character]. For example, "xxxxxx" becomes "6x". It should be unambiguous and the compressed string should always be shorter.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Berkeley, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied online and recruiter contacted me within a week. We scheduled two phone interviews. All problems are technical and very difficult. The interviewers are nice though but they don't talk much and don't give hints.
