I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
First a phone screen with an online coding question. If you pass the phone screen, you are scheduled for on site interview with about 5-6 engineers. All interviews are coding questions with one lunch break where you can interact with an employee.
