I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2015
Interview
Applied online. Got email scheduling me for 2 phone interviews with software engineers. Coded over google docs. Both amazingly nice. Questions required solid understanding of data structures. Would recommend applying just for practice.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Durham, NC) in Sep 2015
Interview
They move very quickly from to time of application to the interview. It was less than a week from my time of application to my interview. The technical interview was as expected and should follow their interview suggestions and preparation material. The day of the interview they were back to back 45 minute interviews and were spent almost entirely coding for the first round interviews.

What experiences do you look to gain through the internship?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Sep 2014
Interview
I had two phone interviews, where I was asked a variety of coding questions. There was a long delay between the application and the interview process - close to three months. If you have a contact in the company, it will be much easier for you unfortunately.
