I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jul 2014
Interview
I was contacted via Linkedin. I had several phone calls with the recruiter, who was very helpful in setting expectations and preparing me for the interviews. 2 phone screens before a full day in person interview, which was tiring.

Question 1
Draw a class diagram that reflects a little league
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
