I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
1. Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn
2. Email exchange then initial phone screen with recruiter. Only question asked was if I was willing to relocate.
3. Phone screen with Product Manager
4. On-site interview (didn't make it this far)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The only interesting takeaway was a question regarding mean vs. median. Wasn't expecting statistics, but it was an applicable question when thinking about how to create applications or use population statistics.
Normal questions about explaining things to someone (how you think) and increasing user-ship by doing XYZ (product strategy).
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.
