I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Telephone, TX) in Feb 2014
Interview
A moronic process that involves answering a standard problem in programming. Except you don't get to answer the problem on an actual computer as a real programmer does and you also must do this while someone talks to you the whole time, again not something you would actually do as a programmer. If you have recently seen the problem they will think you are talented and you will move on to the next stage.

Interview took 2 hours, but it was super friendly.
it was being structured, rigorous, and multi-stage, designed to evaluate not just technical ability but also problem-solving, communication, and alignment with Google’s culture.

Question 1
Among 100 coins exactly 4 are fake. All genuine coins weigh the same, all fake coins too. A fake coin is lighter than a genuine coin. What is minimal number of weighings on balance scale needed to find at least one genuine coin?
It was a long process and I got up to about the 4th interview before they sent me a rejection letter. I was so tired of interviews at that point that I think it played a bit into it.
