The interview process was fairly straight forward and everything was expected as outlined in the e-mail by the recruiter. I really enjoyed the interview process though I did not make it to the final round. I wasn't given an specific feedback but just got to know I hit the benchmark and missed by a point. Also, I heard from several others that people working in google are mostly those who came in after 2nd or 3rd time interviewing with google.
Do not overstress yourself. Just enjoy the different processes that will make you think. Also, the people who interviewed me were polite and we had a great conversation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your favorite product, why, and how would you improve it.
The remaining questions were similar to those you would find online.
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.
