I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2022
Interview
5 interviews - asked a lot of product sense, strategy and technical questions in various rounds. Tech round interviewer had an accent issue, so wasn't able to comprehend the question very well
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Create an algorithm to show radio stations to new users on YT Music 2. Social travel app with a twist 3. Design a product to find a doctor
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.
