J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Sunnyvale, CA) en déc. 2018
Entretien
Was a fair interview process until the final round.
Applied with referrals from current APM and YouTube SWE. First round was a phone screen for 45 minutes, straightforward.
They had me complete an "essay" for product design--supposed to be done in 2 hours, but the context of the assignment required obviously more than that.
They scheduled my onsite interviews (3 in total), but the night before, I receive an email that one of my interviews was canceled and would be rescheduled at a later date (it wasn't). I didn't interview on the main campus, but at a different Sunnyvale campus.
One of my interviews was virtual with a SWE from YouTube, the second with a current PM. It seemed brief and unenthusiastic. Received rejection a week or two later, with no feedback from recruiter. Frustrating because it's unsure if my chances would've been better with my third interview.

Entretien
applied through internal referral rejected after r2
r1: product sense, a couple general questions: what is a good pm and how do you embody those traits + 1 case question: design an app for flight experiences
r2 (2 rounds back to back): didn't do well on the first one (design an app for launching autonomous buses for public transportation) , second one went well (explain websites vs apps for ppl who are not technically adept + design a fridge for people who are colorblind)--> rejected

Many delays and waiting times. Outsourced most of their HR staff. For simple rejection, you wait months. A lengthy process with too much competition and high expectations. The selection process was very poorly conducted in terms of many people going through unnecessary interviews.

Only had a first round interview. I was just asked one long product design question (wasn't what I was expecting at all and also didn't follow the attached interview prep pdf in the email)
