J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en janv. 2022
Entretien
Starts off with a recruiter phone screen that lasts about 30 minutes, followed by an initial 45-minute phone interview with a PM, then an all-day set of 5 separate 45 minute interviews on-site (currently virtual on-site due to the pandemic).
It was generally a positive experience and everyone I spoke to was pleasant. I believe there's a very specific type of PM they are looking for. Every PM I spoke to seemed basically the same and I wouldn't say there much diversity in the types of PMs. Google hires PMs as generalists so maybe this makes sense for them. Obviously something's working for them!
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Questions about how I thought the technology behind a certain product worked, whether or not a certain new market was a good/bad idea and why. It wasn't nearly as technical as I thought (and studied for).
The process was straightforward and moved quickly. After applying online, a recruiter reached out within a few days for a brief phone screen. That was followed by two video interviews, one with the hiring manager and one with a panel of team members focused on project planning and stakeholder communication. The whole thing wrapped up in about two weeks, and the team was responsive and clear about next steps throughout.

Question 1
I walked through a specific project where a key vendor delivery slipped. I explained how I flagged the risk early in our weekly status review, reset expectations with stakeholders, re-sequenced dependent tasks, and brought the timeline back within an acceptable range by negotiating a partial early delivery.
standard 1st round digital interview, they are asking about your experience, background, some behavioural questions and technical questions. and they also share a bit more about the role, culture and expectation

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.
