J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en févr. 2021
Entretien
The process is exactly how it's described in the materials the recruiter sends to you:
- phone screen with a product manager
- if you make it past the screen, virtual interviews via Google Meet with 4 product managers and 1 engineer
- interview feedback sent to hiring committee
- find a team
- SVP approval
- "negotiate" comp
- hopefully an offer
People write lots of things on how to "master" the Google Product Manager interview. If you have product management experience, can think outside the box and are "quick on your feet", you will do fine.
With each interviewer, it's a guided conversation. While the conversation is initiated by the interviewer, you need to guide the conversation and showcase the way you think.
I rated the interview as "difficult" because I can see why many people will not make it through their first time.
I also think over preparing is a bad thing. You will try to be someone you are not, and that will definitely show through based on the way the interviews are structured.
Overall, I enjoyed the process. My recruiter was great and everyone made an effort to accelerate the process as I had other offers which were going to expire.

Question 1
Looking at posts after my interview, the types of questions can be found all over the internet.

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.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
