      Product Manager Interview

      Mar 2, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty straight forward. I got an email via LinkedIn from Google recruiter asking if I was open for a role as a PM, I was not (I was already working for an Internet giant like Google), but since it was Google I wanted to give it shot and said yes. After couple of email exchanges, I decided to talk to the recruiter, she called me and explained every single process/step that happens in the recruitment/interview process (which I liked the most), she also sent me a follow up email with a lot of reading recommendation/material so that I can prep myself for the Interview, which was amazing. Since I was in a remote location, my interview was over the phone. After the overall process, I felt like I wasted my time and reason for that is, the recruiter mentioned that I didn't do bad, I was better than many others they interviewed before, but the person who took the Interview felt like I was not opening up on my ideas and holding my thoughts back which obviously anyone would do, but the only reason I hated the entire process was that just coz "one" person had this opinion they decided not to offer a role, ideally at least 3 people should interview to understand if a candidate is suitable or not, but here one person’s decision was enough for them to make a quick decision, sad policy, sad thinking.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Google

      Interview

      The process was straightforward and moved quickly. After applying online, a recruiter reached out within a few days for a brief phone screen. That was followed by two video interviews, one with the hiring manager and one with a panel of team members focused on project planning and stakeholder communication. The whole thing wrapped up in about two weeks, and the team was responsive and clear about next steps throughout.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I walked through a specific project where a key vendor delivery slipped. I explained how I flagged the risk early in our weekly status review, reset expectations with stakeholders, re-sequenced dependent tasks, and brought the timeline back within an acceptable range by negotiating a partial early delivery.
