After my full day of interviewing at Google, when my recruiter asked what I was planning to do for the rest of the day I let him know I would probably just be sitting at the park with my dog looking at the trees.

I would bet that with time and repeated practice the process becomes less stressful and draining, but I have no intention of testing my hypothesis any time soon.

I interviewed with Google a few months ago and it was the worst. I was dying by the end of the day. It is so intense that I just wanted to give up by the last interview. I don't think I will ever apply there again, or if I do I will care less about going 100% for each interview.

I did two onsites in one week on two different occasions, and it was killer. I would not recommend it. It didn't help that mine were in different cities (and two of them were 1.5 days long).
