J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en juill. 2016
Entretien
A recruiter contacted me for product manager position. I have 10+ years technology experience, an MBA, and some entrepreneurial exposure.
Round 1 - Recruiter screen: Just basic background check for 15 minutes.
Round 2- 1 hour interview by a product manager.
Round 3- Onsite interviews. Total 3 (PM) + 1(Technical) + 1 (Director PM). Last two happen after lunch if first 3 interviewers provide positive reviews.
Round 4- Technical interview with a senior member of Google engineering
Round 5- Interview with a Director PM
After two weeks I heard from recruiter stating that my reviews were positive but they need one more 30 minute phone interview with senior PM. I did this one Ok. Wasn't much impressed with the interviewer. 4 strategy questions in 30 minutes without digging in depth into any. Highly unlike Google.
After that my profile was forwarded to hiring committee. HC rejected my candidacy. Recruiter said it was positive but could not make the cut. This was my fourth onsite interview at Google for various roles. I know it sucks!
Total time - 3 months.

Entretien
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.

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.
