I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Zurich) in Dec 2017
Interview
There were 5 on-site interviews: one technical interview with an engineer, two interviews on product design, one interview to test analytical skills (I got a question on market sizing) and one director-level interview with a consulting-style strategy case.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Select a product and choose the metrics that you would use to gauge its success.
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.
