I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2015
Interview
Good experience. Recruiter call, followed by 45mins phone interview with random product manager from any group in Google. Good experience to see and feel google up close. Once you are on the campus, you would pray that interview goes well. Lovely campus. 2 of the interviews were on google hangout. All interviewers were decently nice.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The process was quite involved. It started a 3 rounds of phone interviews and then I was finally invited to come up to Google HQ for an onsite interview. I arrived on site and met with the HR coordinator first and then a series of other Google PMs who spent about an hour each with me. There were no algorithm questions but al lot of open-ended product design questions

A number of "product design" questions such as "How would you design ....". The goal was to access my thought process and problem solving skills
