HiGuys!

I have an interview for a Program Manager position at Google in 3 weeks. Do you happen to have any tips, process, or resources you’d recommend that could help me preparing for my interviews? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Be prepared for a lot of hypothetical and experience based questions. “Tell me about a time when…” “what would you do if…”

When I was interviewing for PgM (not PM, that’s product manager) I listed out all my work from the past few years, including the challenges, solutions, and how I contributed to the project or program. Make sure you have a variety of common issues for PgM- resourcing, timelines, stakeholder sell in, budget, project scope.

Watch Jeff Sipe videos in YouTube. He has some amazing resources for PgM prep. Good luck with interview prep!

I found some extremely provocative and inappropriate TikTok’s of my cousin’s kid today (8 years old). I’m genuinely concerned. My first instinct was to call my cousin (whom I’m close with, like a sis) and tell her but after giving it some time, I’m on the fence. About a year ago, I found inappropriate TikTok’s of a close friend’s kid and told my friend as soon as I found out. She sounded appreciative that I let her know but TBH, our relationship hasn’t been the same and we rarely talk anymore.

Hi Googlers,
I had a question for you all. Do interviewers give their feedback and rating (or score) before your “package” being sent to HC? And if there is a bad or lower rating in one of your interview, does the “package” still get sent to HC knowing that it may not pass (60% possibility).
