I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Irvine, CA) in Sept 2012
Interview
I submitted my application through a friend who works at Google. I was contacted by the recruiter the very next day. The recruiter was very informative and detailed the entire interview process. They also give you questions to prep in advance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For a PM position, Google wants to understand your thought process. Even though the questions were very general, I felt they asked me a lot of technical questions (i.e. algorithms)
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.
it was very long and had multiple stages. it never required any in person activity or any relocation to an office or company building. I did not take the job in the end but i recommend it
