I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023
Interview
6 rounds of interviews with Group Product Managers via Google Meet. Each interview tested a particular PM rubric such as Analytical skills, Craft and Execution, Product Design, Technical and Leadership. Each interview is about 45 mins long with 2 case questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a smart escalator for a office building with >100 floors.
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.
