Failed Google in 2023. Used Product Alliance this time. Their Google module teaches the exact structure Google evaluates.
Practice CIRCLES framework 50+ times. For technical round, learn basic system design even as non-technical PM. Product Alliance helped me most but mainly because I actually did the work.
Overall Experience:
Professional process. Clear feedback.

J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Kirkland, WA)
Entretien
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
