I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2021
Interview
Four Interview process with team and hiring managers. Everyone was very kind and the interviews weren't too long. I heard back that they moved on to other candidates, but enjoyed the process

Question 1
How long have I been working in project management
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Total eight interviews only to know that I was not a fit! I wonder what did they read in my resume, or assessed from the recruiter's screening. Is this the same Google we assume to have so smart people!?
First call with a recruiter. Explained well the process; but did not tell upfront that the last call with the hiring manager will assess a technical fit. It was conveyed as though it would be more of a cultural fit assessment.
Five interviews with product managers from different regions.
Two interviews with hiring managers for the same product team.
Hint to other interested: save your time and hopes for companies who respect what you bring and are not spoiled by choices.

Question 1
Mostly about product management skills and behavioral based on past experience and hypothetical situations. Which is your favorite Google product and how will you improve it?
Fairly straightforward. Sent job by recruiter, met with some members of the team, good conversations though all pretty surface-level. Ultimately cut interview process short before more rigorous case studies and/or whiteboarding as I accepted an offer elsewhere.
