I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google in May 2010
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter and went through the initial screening process. After which I completed two telephonic interviews with existing Product Managers at Google. The interviewers were polite and ultimately felt that I was over qualified for the role I was looking for. Questions were mostly subjective in nature and were less technical. They were trying to get a feel of my understanding of Google's business and whether I could analyze situations and come up with strategic suggestions on the problem presented.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Where do you see Google in the mobile space with Android
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.
