Fairly well known interview process. Applicants should know about Google products and be ready to talk about what they want to build. Basic analytical questions and design questions are also standard. Applicants who are able to create a framework on the fly, and really focus on the process of designing a product are likely to have the best outcomes.
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.
