I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
I applied online and heard back from a recruiter within a few weeks. The whole process from my initial contact with the recruiter to interview and offer took about 7 weeks total.
Was scheduled for 2 back to back phone interviews. My first one was with a manager on the sales team and was quite difficult. He asked questions such as: What do you think is the total spend on mobile advertising? Tell me about a time when a client was not satisfied with your work? When was AdWords started? If you had to explain AdWords to a 5 year old how would you do so? If you are a local business how would you advertise your product using AdWords? He built off of a lot of my answers to ask follow-up questions.
Second phone interview seemed a bit more relaxed and easier. Questions were more about myself and my experiences, how my college major is relevant to the role, walking through my resume. Was also asked some other questions such as: If Google Translate only operates in 100 countries, but wants to expand how would you go about deciding which languages to translate?
Was called back for an in person interview. Here I met with 2 people, back to back. The questions were very situational and role-based.
Tell me about a time when you had problems in the workspace?
How would you explain the internet to a kid who doesn't know what it is?
Explain something to me that I know nothing about?
If you hear a co-worker talking to a customer rudely, how would you handle the situation?
When was a time that you wouldn't take no for an answer?
If you were a manager, how would you go about increasing your teams CSAT score?
Overall, it was a great interview experience, but exhausting! I used Glassdoor to prep as well as just made sure to have real life situations to refer to for the situational questions. Everyone was very nice and friendly.

Question 1
What do you think is the total spend of mobile advertising?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied online at first, and got no answer, so I applied through a referral of a friend who works there. It seems to be that referral is the best way to go with Google.
A week later I got a response from a recruiter proposing a first phone call. I had a bit of trouble setting up the date (the Calendar invite was not working), so I just responded to the email with the time and date. The recruiter never responded, and then didn't show up or answer emails the day of the call. She then emailed me the next day with a new time, and then showed up a bit late to the call. We had the call (about 30min) and there she told me I had passed to the next round. She asked questions like "Sell Adwords to a small restaurant" and also asked about my CV and previous experience.
I had the call with the next Googler, who was a person from the Sales team. This interview was a bit harder, with questions like: "What are you passionate about? Sell that to a person who has no interest in it", or "What 3 things would you suggest to Larry Page?".
I also passed this interview, and Google offered to fly me to the office for the final round. There I had 3 interviews (total duration 2hs), regarding my analytical skills ("Calculate the potential revenue of adding Adwords to G+"), personal goals in life ("What are you passionate about"), and work experience. They had me do "difficult client situations" about 4 times ("Sell this CD player to a client" and they would be very difficult about it).
A week later, they called me and told me I passed, but I had to go through a review board. A week after they called again and said I passed that and I was offered the job.
It was an intense process, but if you study hard and read the Glassdoor reviews (very, very helpful!) then you should be ok.
