I got my update last night as well. I live in the Los Angeles area. The upgrade took longer than usual, but once it was back up, it seems pretty normal in terms of responsiveness. I haven't done a factory reset since jellybean and let it update OTA through till now. Keeping it as stock as can be these days. The only "problem" i had is that i was using the email app before the update and had disabled the gmail app, and google has disabled the mail app in the update and put a link to gmail where mail used to be. The link was busted because I had gmail disabled. Ha. So my bad. I don't think I like gmail as much as the old email app, but it does appear to be working fine.

I got the lollipop update today. A little bit laggy at the start but now it's like a new tablet. Nice :) It was almost unusable before. Lives in Sweden. Nexus 7 wifi.

I got the update today 4.4.4 -> 5.0.2. For the first hour performance was very bad, the tablet was very laggy but now a few hours later everything is OK. For me now it is faster than 4.4.4

Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Phew...I thought Google had forgotten about my Nexus and last night I got my 5.02 update. (Northeast U.S.) Still trying to "break" it in. Better late than never!

I received the OTA 5.0.2 last night in Nebraska. Installation went well, but laggy response followed for 30 - 40 minutes. Installation would be more efficient if you could reduce the number of apps on your system. The system seems faster in dealing with most apps.

Praise Our Lord and Master the Great Gog received update here in the NW US.

Hard reset and wiped everything. Gave it a few hours to settle and turned off all animation as per usual. Result: speedwise seems about the same. Designwise, meh. I liked the split notification bar better. If there are amazing newfangled innovations going on here compared to KitKat I'm not seeing them.

And I still hate flat. I hated it in the 90s when flat disgusting Windows took over from prettier OSes way back when and I hate it even more now.

Received the OTA yesterday around 10;00 A.M. Central time. So far other than boot times everything seems ok. Some of the boot time can be attributed to encrypted storage on the tablet and the well known NAND flash on the 2012 edition. Overall it seems to work just fine and I am happy with it.

Just did mine, a little late to the party. As soon as the install took, I updated all apps through the play store and immediately restart the tablet. Seems to be pretty responsive so far. It was painfully slow on 4.4.2.

Also received my 5.0.2 update on Friday (I'm in the UK), to my 32Gb Wifi model.

Didn't seem too bad initially - I did wipe the cache pretty much as soon as the update had completed but after a couple of days I am noticing a few lags/moments of unresponsiveness - especially in Chrome(as reported by others).
I think I may give the hard reset a bash and see if that helps.

I started getting notifications for 5.02 about 5 days ago.
Thing is, I finally just rooted the thing only 3 to 4 weeks ago, (I know., I know, why'd I wait years?) using the wugfresh utility. I'm not sure that the OTA upgrade will work now that I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader. On top of that, I've read a few horror stories about lollipop for the 2012 Nexus 7 wifi, but I'm not sure if that's the only upgrades I've read about.
If the general consensus is that 5.02 is solid and stable, then I'll consider doing my own flash with the image. ... unless the OTA should work..? I don't mess around with this stuff all that much to be perfectly honest. I think I'd still need to install ADB on my PC.
