I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
They are clear about the steps and length involved. The questions are hard and abstract. However, some of them get a bit too far fetched and makes me wonder if they aren't more in the brain teaser territory. It was only Product Managers interviewing with "case" type questions the entire time.

Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
