J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google en oct. 2014
Entretien
My interview process started with a friend of mine referring me internally. I initially had a phone screen with the recruiter that went very well. I was almost immediately invited to come into the office for a all-day interview day.
On my interview day I was interviewed by 4 PMs. There was also an interview with a PM Director that was relatively a short interview.
I thought I did fairly well but wasn't sure if I did well enough.
My recruiter emailed me 1.5 weeks later to let me know that all had gone well and they would be submitting me to the Hiring Committee. I was super excited and looking forward to the green light.
Alas- the hiring committee over-rode the feedback and gave me thumbs down.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Nothing difficult or unexpected. The type of questions are very well covered here: Expect a Why Google, or why PM, what products you like, why/why not. You will be expected to do estimation questions as well as case study questions. This is an absolute given.

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.
