This really makes me think Google is in some aspects the Xerox PARC labs of our generation... is any other company doing this kind of research investment?
There's also non-profit research think tanks like Battelle[3]

For example, it is easy for us to release open source code related our research, and in fact we are even encouraged to do so.
Some of us even continue to write personal blogs about machine learning research work done in the program.
In addition to open source projects such as tensorflow, people on the team also contribute and develop other open source libraries such as pybullet, rather than using proprietary, closed-source physics libraries.

Volkswagen, Samsung, Intel and Microsoft[1] all spend more on R&D than Google does[2] and put that funding into a wide variety of areas just as Google does.

Wonder how research this is, what if people are looking for more engineering oriented experience?
If you are looking for an engineering oriented experience you should apply for a full time Software Engineer or Intern position.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Off the cuff, and probably a lot updated since, you should think of it like the normal Google interview but geared towards figuring out how well you'd do in the research environment. Prepare for the former but understand the latter.
So, coding algorithms and data structures in a white board?

It would be great if, Google can make these two week introductory courses available for everyone.
