I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2017
Interview
Five interviews about product management the role and my background. It also included product design questions that tested creative and structural thinking.
They were very kind throughout the whole process and engaging to speak with.
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.
