I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2018
Interview
Phone interview with a recruiter, then two phone interviews with PMs. Really negative experience with Google PMs - I can echo others on here who mentioned Google just wants to fill out a form about you and hand you off. Nobody was interested in having a conversation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could make any product, what would you make?
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
