J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Seattle, WA) en déc. 2021
Entretien
The recruiter support and handoff throughout the process was solid and very organized. Had a couple of phone screens followed by a virtual on-site. The virtual on-site had 5 interviews: two analytical, one domain PM, two product design.
While three of the interviewers were quite warm and engaged, two interviewers looked quite miserable to be there. Also, both of them were late and didn't really bother with the niceties.
The first PM was quite aggressive and blunt, and I felt rattled enough during the interview. This felt like an Amazon bar raiser interview except the interviewer looked like he hated my presence even though this was my first time running into him. He poo-pooed my answer right off the bat and was quite expressive with his facial expressions. He wasn't wrong but it was a case of "not what you say, it's how you say it".
The second interviewer who I had a challenge with, was about 6 minutes late and looked completely checked out. My answers went over her head, and she had a good bit of challenge framing follow-up questions to keep the interview going. It didn't look like she wanted to be there either and complained about how stretched thin she is and how she needs more resources. She also ended the interview 2 minutes early which for a 45min interview was about 18% of the time
The other three interviewers were quite warm and pleasant to have a chat with. If nothing else, I'm going to be extra warm and nice towards people I interview from now on, thanks to this experience. I shared this feedback with my recruiter who was patient enough to listen to me. I didn't expect this experience from Google.

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.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
