I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
I was not looking for a job, but a Google recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, so I bit. I passed her phone screen and then the subsequent phone interview with a product manager. Then, I had 3 on-site interviews with other product managers. I thought 1 went very well, 1 went medium well, and 1 went just ok. I then had lunch with another product manager, which was also kind of blah. After lunch, I met back up with my interview coordinator, and he said they didn't have any more questions for me, so I could go. From what I could tell, that was neither good nor bad, but it turned out to be bad, because I got the news the next day that they weren't going to move forward with my candidacy.
Since I agreed to the NDA, I won't post the exact interview questions here, but I was surprised that all 3 of my on-site interviews each centered around one problem-solving/product design question. There were pretty much no behavioral questions.

Such and such governmental organization/department is "broken." How would you fix it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google (Cambridge, MA) in May 2016
Interview
Called, asked if I had a Visa. I didn't. Call ended. Pretty much all that happened. I was declined after that. Not sure if I have any more to say about the interview process.
Brief phone screen interview discussing my background and how it could fit the open position. Interviewer was courteous and up front about the type of background they were looking for. I was asked to discuss the experience listed on my resume and why I was looking to move to a new position. I was also asked if I was speaking with any other companies.
