I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google
Interview
They called me up after seeing my LinkedIn profile. It took a while to set up because it was near the holidays, but the arranged a phone screening interview, then an onsite interview. Both were what I have come to know as typical google interviews. Technical coding questions, questions with several possible answers, but only one 'best' answer. I made a lot of dumb mistakes like leaving return statements off of the end of functions even though I had gotten the main body of the function accurately, and I was quite nervous, which didn't help. They were mostly nice, although a few of them seemed resentful that they had to be running an interview.

Question 1
They asked me a computer vision question that involved needing to compute the integral image, which took me a while to dredge up out of deep storage.
The process consisted of four technical problem-solving interviews and one "Googleness" and leadership round. The first technical interview started off relatively easy but quickly dove deeper into complex edge cases. The second interview increased in difficulty.
