I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2018
Interview
Recruiter screen, then phone interview, then second phone interview, then in person interview. Phone interviews seems to be focused on raw capabilities and skill sets. No emphasis is given to past experience. More focus on the technical side than the expected.
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.
