In Google's case there are a lot of people in the pipeline that all need to respond before you get an answer. All your interviewers need to get their feedback in. Any internal or external referrals need to provide feedback. And once that's all together, it needs to be presented to a hiring committee (and there are more steps after this that can take time).
(Good) recruiters at Google strive to get their candidates answers as soon as possible, but the most they can do, at times, is hound the person that is holding up the process.

- khedoros 10y agoMy second interview out of college with EMC led to about a month and a half of waiting, but resulted in an offer at higher pay than I had expected. A more recent interview with Google got me a "no" in about 4 business days. Whatever else I could say about the process, at least they stuck to their promised window.
