I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2010
Interview
Long interview process, hiring based on GPA and job performance. Phone interviews can be 1-3. Onsite interview one round of 4 interviews, can be 30-45 min. Once hiring manager gives thumbs up recruiter has to complete a packet to justify hiring. Two formal review committes to respond to. All hiring is done through committee. Hiring manager has no recourse.

Brain teasers - no correct answer, evaluate throught process
Too many interviews. I declined to continue. If you can’t decide after multiple interviews you have a broken process. I was interviewing for a recruiter role and I didn’t want my candidates to be out in the same position.
Not shortlisted for next rounds but they informed me via email within a week which is good. Hopefully will get a chance next time round. Good experience overall. Applied for multiple roles.

Hey there are some great articles out there on the internet for cracking Google interviews. Please do go through this as they're really helpful.
You will mostly have 3-4 sometimes 5 rounds of interviews and all of them will test a combination of skills that you've mentioned in the post above.
