I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Was referred and then contacted by the recruiter. Recruiter interview + 1 telephonic PM interview + 5 onsite interviews + Hiring Committee Approval + 11 rounds of team matching interviews (yes it took that long!) to end up in a role I wanted to get .. The recruiter was super helpful throughout the process. It's a tiring long process, but worth it!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Confidentiality agreement signed, so wont share the questions here. But they were classic PM questions - Design, Analytical, Strategy, Technical and Insights
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.
