The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Tough but fun, it took more time than expected but they asked me about my previous experiences in shipping products and more scenario based questions. I'd recommend preparing a couple examples of things that failed, things that went well, and things that were unexpected like edge cases.
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.
