I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
10/10, just follow the frameworks and interview guide. Very straightforward, and the interviewer was great. Really focus on product sense, and being data driven about your approach, as that's a metric they tend to look at.
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.
