I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Google (Evans, CO) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter. We got a long quite well. He set me up for a screening interview - the person I was to meet with did not show up. He set another interview up and same thing - the person I was supposed to meet with was “busy”. The third attempt again was a bit of a cluster I joined the Google meeting with camera setup and was called on my cell. We had a nice conversation but, I have no hands on technical expertise in wireless. I was turned down for TPM but, recommended to move forward as PM. PM interview was odd. The interviewer joined Google chat while I waited for a call so, I was late. I understand that the questions are a mix of experience and personal evaluation but, asking what does an executive summary presentation look like is fairly open ended. The recruiter notified me that I was not going on in the hiring process and after two months of being recruited hard I’ve heard nothing further. It’s weird as the recruiters start with welcome to your new job at Google in 2022 … and then drop 95% if all candidates do not get an offer.

Question 1
How do you get a project back on track when there are competing priorities?
Four interviews broken up over 2-3 days. These include Role Related Knowledge, Googleyness & Leadership, General Cognitive Analysis, and Technical Judgement. This is about as much as I can provide on these topics.
Took over a year. The interview process was incredibly drawn out and insanely long. In the end I couldn't find a match. The manager I met with crossed her arms and actually rolled her eyes at me as soon as I said hello and asked her how her day was going.

Question 1
How do you prioritize multiple projects with impeding timelines
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2023
Interview
It was a long and tedious interview process. The recruiter forgot about me several times and they were the one who contacted me. I had to keep following up. I had a screen with the recruiter, then a follow up call with a TPM for questions the recruiter couldn't answer, then a first interview with TPM. After that I would have had an onsite day long interview.
