I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jul 2019
Interview
Had first conversation with recruiter who scheduled a follow-up for the technical PM interview. Also was helpful during the process in getting me prepared for the first product case interview with PM employee.
Interview with PM started about 20 minutes late and so was rushed. Got asked 2 questions; one PM case and a statistics/data/measurement question. I heard back within a week that I wasn't moving forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you revolutionize the car wash industry?
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.
