The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Total eight interviews only to know that I was not a fit! I wonder what did they read in my resume, or assessed from the recruiter's screening. Is this the same Google we assume to have so smart people!?
First call with a recruiter. Explained well the process; but did not tell upfront that the last call with the hiring manager will assess a technical fit. It was conveyed as though it would be more of a cultural fit assessment.
Five interviews with product managers from different regions.
Two interviews with hiring managers for the same product team.
Hint to other interested: save your time and hopes for companies who respect what you bring and are not spoiled by choices.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly about product management skills and behavioral based on past experience and hypothetical situations. Which is your favorite Google product and how will you improve it?
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.
