The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
I submitted my resume for a Product Manager position thru a friend who works at Google. It took the recruiter about 2-3 weeks to contact me to set up a phone interview. The phone interview consisted of questions dealing with how I felt about certain products (technical/non-technical) and then how I would market certain products. The interview was very nice and helped me along when I got stuck. After not hearing a word from anyone for two weeks I called to follow up with my HR rep. He left me a message saying that they felt my background was not fit for the job.
