I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
amazing feedback. really interesting. definitely focused on your standard state method as demonstrated in so many interviews. i think i was nervous too. probably the biggest hurdle was articulating ai use cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what was a time where you faced an unexpected challenge? how did you deal with it?
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.
