I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Japa, Western) in Dec 2022
Interview
Very simply , same as others , Apply on line , recruiter call 2 times/ on-site interview first time /Feedback call …. Maybe can not pass because all the questions are open to end questions .
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.
