I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Phone Screen for Google Product Manager -
The questions were:
* Why Google?
* Tell me about the most exciting project you've worked on in the past, and why it was the most exciting for you.
* Design scenario: The alarm clock industry is really waning as of late. What could you do to curb this trend?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design scenario: Let's say you have a tv remote with 3 buttons, mute, vol up, vol down. What would you expect to happen if a user hits vol up button when its muted? Talk through the scenarios and what the user is trying to do. What would you expect to happen if you hit vol down button when it's muted?
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.
