I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Tokyo) in Mar 2020
Interview
1 Self-introduction.
2 The interviewer picks one of my projects and asked the detailed question.
3 Product Design Question.
4 Feedbacks and Suggestions based on my solutions to the Product Design Question.
5 Q & A
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
