If Google primarily worked on developing novel sorting algorithms, I'd agree that this is a great process for them. Heck, maybe it is a great process for them—they just do an astoundingly poor job of explaining who they want to work at Google.
(Also, please recall that literally the only time I personally applied to Google was the freshman year of college. This isn't a case of personal sour grapes.)
By the way, I also don't think their hiring process is fundamentally broken. Just pointing out that this is the reputation it's acquired.
Since you brought up the SAT, it's an absolutely perfect and effective system with zero flaws—which I did spectacularly well on.
