I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was approached by HR representative who explained the process to me. The first session I had was a telephone session with some other PMs.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
On many of the interviews I was asked to pick a product I personally use and like and discuss it: what is good about it, what I would improve on it etc.
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.

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.
