I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
The recruiter is friendly and helpful. They share interview prep documentation to help you get a clear understanding of what to prep for. The interviewers are very friendly and supportive, however might sometimes ask you difficult questions to push you to think more deeply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do when you have already committed to a release but your engineering team comes to you and tell you it cant be shipped in the given time?
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.
