The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2010
Interview
The Google on-site interview experience varies based on position. For software engineering roles, Google asks candidates to prepare for “coding, algorithm development, data structures, design patterns, analytical thinking skills.”
For business and general roles, be prepared for problem solving and behavioral interview questions. For instance, if you’re a marketing person, you may be asked to position a product or handle a delicate product issue. If you’re in a support role, they may ask you for a writing sample.

Other Product Manager Interview Reviews for Google
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.
