I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2021
Interview
Well-structured process starting with a screen survey, followed by a call with a PM. The call was a ~60 minute conversation discussing a hypothetical product problem, in this case how to measure success for an online learning platform given the context of the pandemic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How should an online learning platform measure success coming out of the pandemic?
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.
