I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
Phone interview for 30-40 minutes with basic work experience in product development then was invited back to NYC Google office for a full day interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did my research and went pretty much what others have said about the G interview process.
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.
