Had a recruiter reach out to me, applied online afterwards. There was a phone interview before the onsite interviews. It was one of the nicest interviews I’ve had. Very professional. Faced a panel that included members of the product team and some other higher-ups. There were four different interviews in 30-minute blocks, separated by a 15-minute break after each one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Describe a product that you built - How will you explain google search to your grand mum?
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
