Was referred by a friend who worked at GOOG as a PM, the recruiter got in touch fairly quickly. Didn't have to go through a phone screen / behavorial interview, and went straight into the phone interview with a PM who asked how I might think about a mobile ad opportunity.

I had almost all product questions -- pick a product you like/hate. Why. Design a better one. You have a startup for product category X. Design me a product. You are making a change to improve product X. How would you measure its improvement.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
They warn you ahead of time that the interview process will take months but it was surprising nonetheless. The interviews were fun, I went through a pretty light phone screen with a recruiter, a more rigorous screening with an existing PM, and then three rounds of onsite interviews for one day. After about a week, I heard back from the company saying they would pass on me for now and re-apply, but they refused to give any feedback, which would have been helpful for upcoming interviews and to understand what I could work on if I should re-apply.
