I am being considered for L7 PM at Google and being moved on to virtual onsite. I have interviewed with Google before but never at this level nor know what to expect on Googlyness and people management skills. Any advice? #productmanager #product #pm
How was your phone interview? And is this for cloud?
Phone screen was very easy imho. Basic strategy questions.
Tc and yoe?
How do you go from non tech to l7 pm?
Get ready for your comp to more than double.
You can expect typically people management questions: how do you manage low performers? Tell me about a time you influenced the organization. What do you look for in a high performing team?
What does google looking for for those kind of soft questions
Nopes.. G interviewers r very tech heavy .. Amz wud rate u on people management skills but G does not care .. G interviewers might not even ask anything other than typical tech pm questions .. have friends in both orgs.. 1 more thing even if u clear interviews, u might not get team match becoz internal promotions r preferred at G so G wud say sorry we can’t give u an offer
On-site likely 5-6 rounds. One focused on people mgt: team hiring, firing, promo, organization etc.. You must ace Product Strategy, product design, people mgt, even if other rounds are average.
Where do you learn to best prepare for these types of questions ?
OP check out this post: https://www.teamblind.com/post/PM-Interview-Prep-Plan-How-I-got-PM-offers-from-Google-Expedia-Microsoft-and-Facebook-pj56HMHQ. Some good links in there on system design and ML. I'm also prepping for GCP PM L6/7. Would you like a study partner? DM me.
Do you guys have/know any resources for prepping? Books/website/etc? I would appreciate it if you share..
Is L7 PM at Google an IC role or a people manager role ? If IC, why is there a people management round ?
It can be both
Interesting.....How big is the scope of an IC L7 PM at Google. It must be massive I am guessing. I know IC L7 PMs at Amazon have a big scope and L7 at Amazon maps to L6 at Google so can’t even imagine how big of a scope an individual L7 PM must be managing at Google
l7 tc has to be 7 figs right?
If hired from outside, maybe yes. If grew from inside, then not.
No way. You'd have to be a downleveled director to get 7 digits as l7. Even swe l7 max is shy of 1m
Expect to get down leveled, aim your answers to what an L8 would say and you might get lucky.
Agreed. Prepared to be downleveled

Do people underestimate E6 role at meta?
Make sure that you understand there are 2 important parts of pushing a product out. Managing expectations and avoiding total team burnout.
