Question 1
Select a product and choose the metrics that you would use to gauge its success.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2019
Interview
4 interviews plus lunch 'interview', process was very smooth, however two of the interviews was remote which was difficult for me to read and understand the interviewer. The questions are what you will find at the standard PM interview sites however I definitely missed out on market strategy.
