I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in Mar 2018
Interview
First interview through phone - combination of background questions, behavioral questions, product design questions. Took around 45 minutes. Heavy focus on open-ended behavioral questions to test product management experience. There weren't many cross-questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your framework for deciding user-centric vs product stability and engineering focused features in a product release?
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.
