Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 1+ week)
I had interviewed with google in 2007 when I was still in graduate school. At that I had a phone interview and was called onsite to their campus in Santa Monica. I did not get an offer from them after that, however 2 and a half years later I got a call from an HR at Google who wanted to set up an interview because he saw my profile on file. So the phone interview was set up and the questions consisted of a lot of testing questions like "how would you test google maps" etc. They asked quite a bit about GUI testing. There was also a programming question that I had to write on a shared document.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Kirkland, WA (took 1+ week)
1. I got a phone call from the recruiter who asked me a few questions about what I did in my present job.
2. Next the phone interview was scheduled for a week later.
The phone interview consisted of three parts:
a. Questions about my current job, stuff I worked on and projects I had participated in
b. What is my favorite programming language and what is the most advanced feature of the language that I had used.
c. Questions on multithreading, concurrency, locking. Simple question about race conditions, solutions to the usual concurrency problems. What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore. Which one would I use to protect access to an increment operation. (i.e. i++)
d. A question on the 'Game of Nim' although it was worded differently.
