Fairly well known interview process. Applicants should know about Google products and be ready to talk about what they want to build. Basic analytical questions and design questions are also standard. Applicants who are able to create a framework on the fly, and really focus on the process of designing a product are likely to have the best outcomes.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Interviewed with Google for PM just a few minutes ago. The interview was supposed to be 45 min long, but lasted less than 30 min. The interviewer gave me a feel that she had already made up her mind what the outcome would be even before the interview even began.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Describe your resume in 5 min.
2. What are a few of your innovations.
3. what do people misunderstand about you.
4. name a few products of google you use. How would you make to better.
The unexpected part was the interviewer just wanting to shoot questions and not very open to discussion.
