The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
The interview was pretty technical and they don't really care about your previous experience. They have a slip that is passing around to interviewers and they put comments on what they already asked just to avoid asking the same question. They tried to cover different technical aspects, but I had 3 interviewers asking me about writing algorithms to solve given problems and all sorts of efficiency big-O discussion.
