I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
First phone call interview went well - walk through process questions.
Onsite was 5 different sessions and one lunch break with another PM. Was asked multiple estimation questions, strategy questions and roadmapping/prioritization.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Estimate the number of street lamps in new york city
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.
