Tl;dr -- know the role, your resume and Google. The process is intense.

HR Screen: why Google? Why role? Leadership experience

Hangout: deeper questions on role related experience (e.g., why product marketing?), favorite Google product and why as well diving into any part of your resume. No brain teasers, but you will be asked Fermi estimation and market sizing questions. Calculators are fine.

On site: Exhausting day of 3-6 interviews with non-evaluative breakfast/lunch with peer level. Each interview will ask deeply about specific resume stories. Interviewer will be taking notes through most of the interview, since the write up, not the the interview, is what counts to hiring committee. Make it easy by structuring your answers and getting to the point without skipping steps. Questions will range from hypothetical, mini-cases, analytical problem solving.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time.

I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?
