I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2022
Interview
Long and involved. Dropped away and came back. There is no roadmap to what is coming next. Many individuals interviewers -- luck of the draw for who you get, some better interviewers than others. Know your product basics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you expand YouTube market share in Indonesia?
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.
