I have applied to Program manager and technical program manager roles at Google. I am going through suggestions here and saw some interview tips . That’s being said I have a very technical background , but it’s not coding . It is more in lines of monitoring metrics , looking at real user data , preparing material dashboards, identifying bottlenecks and supporting teams in making their product better . I understand the cloud concept cause I led the effort . Am I eligible for TPM?

How technical will the interview be . I am keeping a positive mindset , I am very coachable and I have led teams and worked with engineering teams . So my basics are clear but I wonder if a high tech MIT grad will ask me coding questions,.. I was never into coding . I am people person and I like visual representation and I am eager to learn. I have worked in ambivalent projects and learnt a lot sometimes the hard way ..

MIT grad comment because in my head I imagine the fastest minds being developers at google 😝
Please suggest !

What teams have you applied to?

Cloud productivity .

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
