I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Durham, NC) in Sept 2015
Interview
Phone call with 5 questions. All questions were about product and the market, testing your awareness and understanding of the field. See how you think about products. My interviewer was pretty stoic until the end, when I got him to laugh. I paused for too long at some points and faltered-- be sure not to do that. Confidence is key; go over product questions with the CIRCLE format and review common metrics PMs use to make decisions.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
5 interviews 3 questions each. Same as what they emailed in preparation. Watch YouTube videos and focus on the 3 core topics and you will be perfectly fine. Would recommend reading how to crack the PM interview
Damm good it was. Mostly guesstimate questions. Overall liked it. I would recommend getting a good hang of numbers and puzzles questions as it helped me clear 3 rounds. Amazing
Interview was straight forward and lined up with expectations. Interviewer was friendly but I’m disappointed by their general ability to make the interviewee comfortable (no hi, no greetings, did not even address me by my name or give me the chance to introduce myself, went straight into questions without the clarifying how many questions they’d like to cover, etc.)
