Google Project Manager interview questions

Recruiter was amazing. Rather than speaking to a hiring manager, I was interviewed by another person who worked in the same position. There was very little talk about actual knowledge. The questions seemed like they were baked. For a position that relies on process, and design thinking - the interviewer was too focused on specificities on irrelevant ideas with zero data or context. The interviewer failed to ask relevant questions. It’s no surprise the project they were working on no longer seems to exist many months later which proves how their thinking and attitude toward the role has affected the final product they worked on.

The process is exactly how it's described in the materials the recruiter sends to you: - phone screen with a product manager - if you make it past the screen, virtual interviews via Google Meet with 4 product managers and 1 engineer - interview feedback sent to hiring committee - find a team - SVP approval - "negotiate" comp - hopefully an offer People write lots of things on how to "master" the Google Product Manager interview. If you have product management experience, can think outside the box and are "quick on your feet", you will do fine. With each interviewer, it's a guided conversation. While the conversation is initiated by the interviewer, you need to guide the conversation and showcase the way you think. I rated the interview as "difficult" because I can see why many people will not make it through their first time. I also think over preparing is a bad thing. You will try to be someone you are not, and that will definitely show through based on the way the interviews are structured. Overall, I enjoyed the process. My recruiter was great and everyone made an effort to accelerate the process as I had other offers which were going to expire.
