Hi. I have a phone interview for a Google TPM role on Thursday. I've been told it'll be with a PM. What should I expect? What should I study? How should I prepare? Here's the full role: Technical Program Manager, Infrastructure Software Engineering. Does anyone know what level this role is? #tech #google #tpmgoogle #tpm
r u a tpm right now? U shouldn’t need to prepare at all for phone interview otherwise u don’t even need to bother with applying cuz u will never pass the onsite. If u r a tpm u will know what to answer for phone interview. They just want to know if ur background matches. TPM should be a good communicator and be able to answer those questions easily
No, I’m not a TPM right now.
I had a phone screen two weeks ago, the recruiter called me today saying that they are freezing TPM roles as of today. Disappointed in the news
Did you clear the phone screen ?
She said everything was good and will connect back in a month or so
Which location?
Tbd
Is this for US?
I had a phone screen for a TPM role today and the entire interview was based on project management. I felt it was an ok interview from my perspective, but their focus on project management kinda threw me off. I had prepared a lot of system design stuff along with behavioral. I hope I get the on-site
Did you go thru the interview? I have a scheduled interview for the exact same role. Would be helpful if you can share how their interview pattern is of?
Can anyone share what kind of questions were asked in the phone interview?
OP, how did the interview go?
Prepare the 3 constraints of program management and which one you can compromise to gain the other two. Think about situational questions like you have 3 days before launch and the VP asks you to make a change to the program. How will you react. Etc.
Have you cleared TPM interview for GCP ? If yes did they ask any coding questions ?
My decision went to the hiring committee but they felt I’m a good fit for google but not for the team. Not sure what to think of it. They did not ask coding questions but some system design question. The questions are very vague and you’ll have to provide structure and then work through them.
