I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2022
Interview
Good and straight forward. Got interview within 1 month of application. Talked with APM from Google. First interview was pretty chill. The interviewer was friendly and asked following questions to help with the initial question and my thought process regarding it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were under NDA, but couple of product design questions and couple of strategic questions.
In total it's 7 interviews. It helps to know all products frameworks. They asked interesting questions like, how to build a fridge for the blind, how to build an elevator for skyscrapers, etc. Interviewers are nice and I believe it helps for your responses to be reasonable and not super hypothetical, but that's just my 2 cent.
Tested communication and product skills, leaning into product design and improvement questions and general problem solving skills. The interviewer was very supportive and guided how to proceed with the problem statement.
Interview focused on a standard product design question, involving designing a new product for travellers that Google would launch, and explaining reasoning and prioritisation. Follow up questions would be asked regarding the product design.
