I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (London, England) in Feb 2024
Interview
The process was lengthy, with delays during the committee review and team matching phases. The interviews were demanding, requiring a mix of technical knowledge, strategic thinking, and strong communication skills. I found it helpful to practice case studies, metrics analysis, and behavioral questions beforehand. Overall, while the process was time-consuming, it was a great learning experience and gave me a clear sense of Google’s high standards for Product Managers
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you improve the user engagement metrics for Google Photos?
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.
