I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied through an Employee referral and got an email from the recruiter indicating a phone interview by a TPM. I got a call back the next day regarding an onsite interview.
4 onsite interviews (2 technical and 2 non-technical). Standard PM related questions and system design questions for technical. Currently waiting to hear back about the decision.
Good interviewers that ask a lot of questions to gauge your domain knowledge. Do not feel daunted because they just need to know your thought process. Speak more and out loud. Think out loud.
Two process interview. was not clear. first interview with recruiter which thought it will go well. second with Hiring manager which was not clear what was asked or needed. Not sure why went through this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a technical topic to me like I am C-executive
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Amsterdam) in May 2026
Interview
had first interview with recruiter - she was nice. thought that I was the right person for the job. Second interview with manager from the US. was less good. felt like the main reason for the interview was to hire a similar person to the person who was interviewing. we talked at night (for me) and was 30 min over the interview allocated time, but the morning after I got a rejection call.
