I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2015
Interview
From apply to hear back to schedule interview: exactly 1 week
From interview day to result call: 2 weeks and a day
Interviewers are super nice. It was 2 video calls. I thought it was phone calls so I wore casual shirt and pulled all my hair up, messy background behind. But they didn't mind at all.
1st interviewer asked about my resume, he's very friendly.
2nd interviewer threw me a tougher question, my brain froze for a while but then I managed to solve it.
Questions are really similar to those in the Cracking the Coding Interview book.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
The process was chill. I applied online after a recruiter came to my school. After applying I was contacted about a week after and they set up 2 back to back interviews for the next week, after those interviews I received a decision in about a week I believe.

Question 1
They asked me to write an algorithm for merge sort, also to reverse a linked list, and I believe the last one was the balanced parenthesis question which can be implemented recursively or using a Stack
I applied online and was then contacted by recruiter for two technical phone interviews. The questions asked were relatively easy since it was the program for sophomores, but I was too nervous so I didn't get into the program.
The questions are for string manipulations and I think some technical interview preparation book would help.
