I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jun 2021
Interview
It was an exhausting process, had a total of 6 rounds. One telephonic and 5 virtual on-site interviews. One interviewer was highly condescending and not a good listener, he had a very heavy French accent and I don't think he realized how difficult to comprehend his English was. It was perhaps a stress interview? But maybe just the demeanor of the the panel. I was likely to rescind my application after the first interview, as cultural fitment is super important to me. The other 5 were in the range of very pleasant to formal, but all very polite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General PM questions and case studies. Also behavioral questions
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.
