Interviewed Dec 2010 in Mountain View, CA (took a day)

Due to previous interactions I had a shortened interview process. I only had to do two phone screens. The first interviewer seemed uninterested although he wasn't rude by any means. I was concerned that I wasn't engaging enough for him. He asked about my resume and pretty standard interview questions.

Second interview went a lot better. I felt like she was testing my knowledge of Google and how if I fit into the culture. She was very nice and seemed interested in actually speaking to me.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)

I was referred by one of my friends in google in April, and one week later received a email trying to schedule a phone interview with me. You got to choose the date and time that they call you.

There were only 2 interviewers asking basic cs questions, Some other programming/algorithmatic questions were also asked.

The key is keep talking and say the easiest solution in your mind first, no matter however stupid it sounds like if it's a correct solution, then on top of that you start optimizing.

A week later I got email that i got an offer.
