Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google (Mountain View, CA) nel mese di apr 2011
Colloquio
Had one call with a recruiter and then a phone screen with a product manager. The phone screen included one problem which I had do analyze holistically - strategic, business, functional, technical, execution, marketing. The problem was related to an enterprise collaboration solution. Following that I was invited to an onsite interview. Most interviews went pretty well, covering mostly functional design issues, sizing and one deep technical interview with an engineer. No questions about my experience or past work - only skill questions (e.g. estimate how many photos are stored in picasaweb, design an ideal alarm clock, describe the most innovating product you've heard about lately, etc). Didn't get an offer although some interviewers were added during the day. Maybe next time.

Colloquio
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.

Colloquio
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.
