I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Phone interview was the only one I had. It would have been followed by an on-site meeting with a few PMs and then possibly another one. I didnt get to that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you know product XYZ ? How would you design its launch ? How would you know which features to add ? What features would you add to it ?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2011
Interview
multiple phone interviews, quizzing, and random one on one phone calls from team members. It was a bit chaotic and seemingly unorganized. I think it actually was strategically planned to be so because Google tends to look for a cultural fit before they look for a technical fit, or at least they look for culture as much as technical for their candidates.

Question 1
What makes up the octet of an IP range? Why is it important in routing?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was interviews for a "general" PM position, meaning there was no particular opening for this role. However if pass a position could be created for you. This was a pre-text.
Phone interview lasted 45min sharp, then we switch to "about company" question and it was about 15-20min. Interviewer introduced himself as it was expected, but was more interested in me looking up his LinkedIn profile ( himself) than in interviewing me. He mislead me on his education degree/major. He presented himself as Ph.D. in Computer Science from Ivy league University, while in fact he is MBA as found out after the interview. Naturally, I talked to him as he is CS Ph.D, that skewed the whole conversation into entirely different dimension. The phone signal went out of range three times in row during the interview, making me feel this interview is not important. Overall feel was, too easy, something is missing here.
