Was pulled in to interview by external recruiter, expressed that I wasn't sure but encouraged to go through process to learn, and then when there was asked continually why I wanted to work at google. Recruiter then told me that the panel thought I was a great candidate but I wasn't excited enough about google...
it was very chill , she asked me about my age and i said that i am 22. set for yourself? What do you like and respect about the company as a whole? What excites you about the future of the industry? As you start building your story, tie together similarities among your professional goal
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
I applied to Google through two referrals. It took a few days after I submitted my application to be contacted by a recruiter. Once I was contacted, it was fairly quick to get a 30-minute phone screen scheduled. The phone screen was with another PM at Google who asked an analytical/estimation question and a product strategy question. I'd prepared by practicing estimation questions and strategy case studies I found online and through Cracking the PM Interview and basically did everything by the book. I felt pretty confident with my interview - great conversation and worked with the interviewer through the problems. After over 2 weeks post phone interview, I finally heard back from the recruiter saying they would not be moving forward and he wanted tell me over the phone so he could offer me feedback. His feedback was to improve in strategy and analytical case studies (uh, duh) but no deeper than that. This could have been an email instead of having me wait two weeks.
I'd advise lots of practice on estimation and strategy questions but also, don't get your hopes up or bank on getting Google.
