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).
The process was straightforward and moved quickly. After applying online, a recruiter reached out within a few days for a brief phone screen. That was followed by two video interviews, one with the hiring manager and one with a panel of team members focused on project planning and stakeholder communication. The whole thing wrapped up in about two weeks, and the team was responsive and clear about next steps throughout.

I walked through a specific project where a key vendor delivery slipped. I explained how I flagged the risk early in our weekly status review, reset expectations with stakeholders, re-sequenced dependent tasks, and brought the timeline back within an acceptable range by negotiating a partial early delivery.
standard 1st round digital interview, they are asking about your experience, background, some behavioural questions and technical questions. and they also share a bit more about the role, culture and expectation

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.
