I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Aug 2022
Interview
Lengthy, long interview process lasting 4 months. passed but no offer. Interviews were extremely engaging and fun to do.
I wish that I had more insight into the process but they do their best to keep candidates informed. I would recommend the process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Favorite product and what the optimizations should he
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.
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.
