Only had a first round interview. I was just asked one long product design question (wasn't what I was expecting at all and also didn't follow the attached interview prep pdf in the email)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
applied through internal referral rejected after r2
r1: product sense, a couple general questions: what is a good pm and how do you embody those traits + 1 case question: design an app for flight experiences
r2 (2 rounds back to back): didn't do well on the first one (design an app for launching autonomous buses for public transportation) , second one went well (explain websites vs apps for ppl who are not technically adept + design a fridge for people who are colorblind)--> rejected

Question 1
design an app for launching autonomous buses for public transportation
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Zürich)
Interview
Many delays and waiting times. Outsourced most of their HR staff. For simple rejection, you wait months. A lengthy process with too much competition and high expectations. The selection process was very poorly conducted in terms of many people going through unnecessary interviews.
