I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me for the Product Manager role. The interview process includes a HR phone interview, 1st round phone interview with a current Product Manager, and final round includes an onsite 5/6 back-to-back interviews with a combination of Product Managers and Directors. The onsite interview also includes a free lunch at Google offices, where you can ask informal questions to a current Product Manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions are used to test your thinking. I don't remember the exact questions, but be prepared to justify your logic very thoroughly. The questions are actually fun and stretch your brain and can steer your conversation with the interviewer.
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.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
