How it went
The candidate interviewed for a Senior Product Manager role at Google, involving a recruiter screen followed by two brief calls. One call focused on background and AI interest with a light product prompt, while the other included behavioral questions and an open-ended case study about declining Gemini usage. Despite feeling unprepared for the ambiguity, the candidate was ultimately rejected before the assignment stage, noting limited opportunity to ask questions about the role.
