I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
A recruiter talked with me on the phone for 20 minutes, reading off a script with basic questions. Then scheduled a time for a phone interview with a Google PM.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Imagine you're a PM for an e-commerce site. You come into work in the morning and you see on your dashboard that sales are down by 50%. What do you do?
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.
