I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Jul 2018
Interview
Got a call from a recruiter for screening and then coordinator set up 45 mins 1st round phone interview. The interviewer called on the scheduled the time and immediately jumped into questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
List up 3 products you like. Then interviewer chose one. Asked why you like it and how you will improve it.
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.
