I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (California, MD)
Interview
They had behavioral and technical questions. Technical questions were difficult and were something you could not make up on the spot. they asked me about data analysis and what functions i would use for that.
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.
