I applied online. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Phone Interview, and then an onsite with five interviews. The interviewer on the phone was great. The recruiter was also super helpful throughout the entire process. Even though I didn't get the offer, the experience was great.
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.
