Thank you for taking the time to write this contribution. For someone who is in the process of trying to join Google, it's extremely illuminating. One thing I've been wondering is, since the org structure is way flatter than most big orgs, is it at all possible for a candidate to tell what level (or hell, even the ladder) a given position is listed at?

No. Google doesn't really work like that. I as a manager can interview candidates and screen for a certain level, but the req does not assume a level. Level gets decided by committee when the interview packet (feedback, resume, etc..) is reviewed at the end of the process. I can recommend a level, but they don't have to accept it. I've had candidates get bumped up and down. If I want a specific level and the candidate doesn't make it, I won't extend an offer.
