I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Kirkland, WA) in Jul 2013
Interview
You will have a phone screen with a recruiter, then a phone interview with a current Product Manager at Google, and then onsite. The initial phone screen is easy- the phone interview with a current PM is much more challenging. Come prepared knowing about Google's products, possible improvements, and a go to market plan for your proposed product or feature.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much would it cost to implement a product improvement for the entire US?
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.
