I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I was referred by a friend, and a recruiter reached out to me scheduled a phone call followed by a phone interview with a Product Manager. I was then invited for an onsite interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One phone I was asked to design a disaster management app for the Olympics and was asked about Google compute engine.
I was invited to an onsite interview; there were five interviews in total.
First was a quick number estimation, Here the challenge is writing on the board as you think aloud.
The second was out of the box thinking,
I was asked to redefine e-commerce on one of their products. (video streaming product)
Third was related to a designing a product, the question is just a single sentence for example design a pen, the candidate will need to dig further to come up with ideas.
4. How would you make a product you used this morning better? This interviewer also had a very ridiculous question, by that I mean not possible in real-world kind of question. It was really tough to implement in real life
5. Technical interview - This totally depends on the engineer - I was asked about networking and performance improvements on a website
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.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
