I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Two phone interviews, then proceeded with on-sites. On-sites included three back-to-back interviews. One technical, but fuzzy technical. No real coding questions asked, mostly just product related questions. Prepped via How to Crack the PM Interview book. Worked out fine.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2016
Interview
Started with a call with the recruiter then went on to an interview with a PM - this was mainly behavioural and design questions. They seemed to be looking for a specific framework to your response which I was not aware of at the time - it is only after doing more courses in HCI and design thinking that I realized that my answer wasn't structured the way they wouold've desired.

I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone interview felt unnatural and the person holding the interview seemed disinterested in being there. Jumped around between different technical, personality and general questions. Not sure if this was intended or not.
