Pretty intense, reminds me a bit of consulting interviews. Lots of focus on tech/industry. My friends who were successful came from other major tech companies like amazon or msft.

My friend who worked in msft for 2 years landed a pm role in google. She worked in startups since sophomore

Based on the comments, seems like they prefer folks coming from tech companies as opposed to consulting?

Is this FinOpS?

PM (technical) is not the same as PgM (non-tech). Further, PgM is perhaps the largest job ladder at Google so YMMV quite a lot

Got it, makes sense.
@G1: Any experience with PgM interview process?

Classic Google: some behavioral, some screener, some impossible hypotheticals. Articulate aloud everything going through your brain so they know your thought process. Remember that arriving at a correct answer sometimes isn’t the point

Got it, very much like consulting interviews.
What do you mean by impossible hypotheticals?
