      Product Manager Interview

      May 8, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2012

      Interview

      Google seems to have a highly formulaic interview process. My interview was basically exactly like every other experience of Product Manager interviews you'll find online. "Design a better alarm clock, what do you think of Google product X, etc." I spoke to two different product managers; both seemed to be reading from the same script. The interviews were exactly 45 minutes long, with no questions about experience, accomplishments etc. In my personal case, I have over 15 years of experience developing some pretty innovative software, so it was somewhat off-putting to be interviewed by 25-year-olds reading from a script, but it seems like that's their process and they're not going to adapt it. Doesn't seem that innovative, really. Once the process started, the recruiter didn't come back with feedback - I had to prompt him to get updates (even 1 week after interviews had passed). So overall, I don't feel like I'm missing much by not getting hired there.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Google (Kirkland, WA)

      Interview

      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.

      resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
