I interviewed with Google four years ago and have been working there since. None of my interview questions were of the puzzle variety. Many were coding and some interviews were completely open ended of the type "You seem to have done a lot of X" followed by a series of hard questions on X from someone who is clearly interested in learning more about X. I found the interviews quite enjoyable. YMMV.
