Process

I was supplied with transportation to my onsite interviews (I had two since I'd previously interned) via Google's transportation team. It was a smooth scheduling process. the day after I arrived in the vicinity of the office, I had my interviews. My first interviewer met me in the lobby, and we chatted as we headed to the interview room. The question was multi-part, but my interviewer was very helpful in aiding me in organizing my thinking, and I got to a fairly complete point. I was given time to ask the interviewer questions, then my second interviewer came into the room. They were also helpful in that they asked questions as to my intent/direction. I finished early, and we chatted before leaving the room. I was informed when feedback from interviews was in. A week later came the hiring committee's recommendation. Updates from there were a week or two apart unless my recruiter specifically stated it would be longer. Overall great experience because my interviewers were very genuine people, who I enjoyed getting to know during the brief time we spoke.
