I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Google
Interview
I was recruited from the university. First I had a talk with a very nice recruiter. She asked me about my interest, some behavioral questions, etc.
Second was a phone interview with a PM person. Here I had a couple questions and brainteasers.
After this interview I was rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Tell us about your 3 favorite unknown android applications. Why?
Q: How much storage space do you need to store all the info from Google Maps
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.
