A software engineer-turned-PM shared their Google PM interview experience, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation. This included analyzing Google products, preparing STAR stories, and doing 30 mock interviews. The process took 2.5 months, starting with a LinkedIn application (without referral) and included a recruiter screen and four on-site interviews covering product sense, technical skills, leadership, and "Googleyness." The candidate highlighted the value of a SWE background for technical questions and suggested focusing on databases, APIs, and scalability concepts. The comments, while mostly congratulatory, also note the extensive preparation required and question the ad-like nature of the post, specifically regarding the mention of Product Alliance.
