I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very brief phone interview followed by an in person interview that was terribly organized, and took no more than a few minutes per interviewer, felt like the kids were running the day care.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Got referred by a friend, had a call with a nice person from HR, after that I had an interview with a manager, relaxed conversation about how I'd adress certain topics and also did a practical case study,.
They have a very well-structured hiring process and scheduling interviews was incredibly easy and convenient. The recruiter was super friendly throughout our entire interaction, and they thoughtfully provided post-interview feedback to me, which I greatly appreciated receiving.
