Entrevista
Applied for a position in Seattle (I'm a German citizen). Was contacted by recruiter only three days after sending in my resume. Recruiter arranged for an initial phone screen which was conducted by a Product Manager from their Mountain View office. Phone screen went well, the interviewer was friendly and very professional. Mostly asked product management questions, some guesstimates and a few brainteasers. After phone screen got an invitation to interview in person in their Munich offices. Once again, everyone was very friendly and professional. Munich interview consisted of one PM interview on location, one PM interview via video conferencing with their Zurich office and one tech interview with a developer on location. Questions were very interesting. Some guesstimates and brainteasers but mostly design questions. After second interview got an invitation to Zurich. There I had two more interviews with Product Managers (on location). Also got a tour of their Zurich offices which are very nice. Interviewers in Zurich were also very friendly and questions were compelling and challenging. Didn't get an offer, but the experience overall was very positive. The recruiter was very quick to respond and the whole process was rather pleasant.

Pregunta 1
Mostly PM questions (How would you design...), not just software-related but also every day products. Some guesstimates and brainteasers. Signed NDA so cannot reveal actual questions (if you google "google interview questions", you'll ge a pretty good impression of the kind of questions they ask).

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.
