I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Singapore) in Feb 2013
Interview
The HR representative contacted me through e-mail after I submitted a resume through a current employee. The initial call was just to explain the process of the interview, elaborate on the role and answer any questions I had. I then had 3 interviews in one day at the Google office, one of teleconference and two face-to-face. After that, Google disappeared for over 2 months. I sent several follow-up e-mails to the recruiter who never even responded and then out of the blue they called me up to tell me that I didn't get the offer.

Question 1
No question that was particularly difficult but they did ask a lot of personal questions about what I am passionate about and role played how I would talk to the client.
Super sketchy emails from third parties that look like phishing emails - I almost deleted them.
Once you get through to the Google employees themselves, the recruiters extremely flaky - getting passed from one individual to another, with extremely clunky handoff. I understand there's high volume, but this does not speak highly of Google's culture which is known to have fallen off a cliff in the last six months.
They use canned email to make it sound impressive, but execution was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Definitely not leaving a great impression on me as a business owner, or consumer.

It was a wonderful interview experience. Had just the initial round because it was just a screening call. Basic questions about past experience. Chose not to pursue further as role was not a great fit.
