Application
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Had two phone interviews with two APMS at the time. Asked pretty standard questions about Google products, and then was asked some probability / theoretical questions. Around two of these technical questions, some even involving product design. The first APM seemed much more enthused to interview me than the second.
They asked what my favorite product was and how I would make it better. The entire interview was mostly centered around the product that I chose and my thinking about it.
5 interviews on-site with different team members.
It was hard to go from a friendly office tour to a deeply technical CS question first thing in the morning! However, it got easier after the first question and everyone was very friendly.
PS- The office is very fun too.
