> For the phone interview, it will be on a Google document, and for the onsite interview, it will be writing code on a whiteboard.

That part is not completely correct. At onsite can choose to write code in a Chromebook which will have a lightweight editor with syntax highlighting.

The amount of time required to 'learn' the Google interview would be time that could be spent learning more universally applicable skills.

Is it true that an experienced developer would not be able to pass the interview without studying using a similar guide? If so, then the interview process is... fubar.

Did they finish rolling them out? I know that is (was?) the plan, but when I interviewed last year at the Santa Monica location, they only had whiteboard.

Indeed not all locations have it, but I believe the major ones, like Santa Monica, should have it available by now.
