I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2022
Interview
Long and involved. Dropped away and came back. There is no roadmap to what is coming next. Many individuals interviewers -- luck of the draw for who you get, some better interviewers than others. Know your product basics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you expand YouTube market share in Indonesia?
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.
