I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Hiring screen. First round was product sense interview (45 mins) and then an analytical interview (45 mins). Pretty minimal guidance / coaching through the interview. Appreciated the detailed interview feedback afterwards.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Was sent as email about the interview. Completed the google assessment online test and was told that I passed. Didn't hear back from anyone after and no real recruiter to be able to follow-up.
It was a phone call with a hiring manager. Very quick and to the point for the product role in an entry level position. This was for an onsite position.
