I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The process was quite involved. It started a 3 rounds of phone interviews and then I was finally invited to come up to Google HQ for an onsite interview. I arrived on site and met with the HR coordinator first and then a series of other Google PMs who spent about an hour each with me. There were no algorithm questions but al lot of open-ended product design questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A number of "product design" questions such as "How would you design ....". The goal was to access my thought process and problem solving skills
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.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
