Google APMM Interview

Fro what I have heard, Google is notorious for rigorous, brain teasers.

How many gas stations in the US? Quickly, what is 7^3 How many golf-balls can be filled in this room? Clock and angles, etc.

cheers

mhurricane - thanks for the info. I had also heard of the brainteaser style questions being a frequent during Google interviews.

However, I was wondering more specifically what kind of questions they ask for the RAMP or APMM program roles. Anything specifically related to design or marketing?

Thanks!

brain teasers, esp for PM, they like their PMs to have a comp sci background + business degree, the brain teasers are mainly comp sci related to see how you think and how you could help improve code, think Big O notation and execution times

Socola - did you interview for the position? I think the questions for the Associate PM are slightly different.

I am coming from one year of banking experience and a business undergrad degree. I applied for this role as I was told they weren't necessarily looking for people with a technical background. So not sure if I would be asked about coding; have no experience in it.

yeah they recruited me outta b-school, for PM not associate, i am a comp sci ugrad mba..for me it was moslty brain teasers and why google

Interesting, can you by any chance elaborate on the nature of the work your associate PMs do and then by extension, what kind of things they may be expected to bring to the table? Also, if you wouldn't mind sharing when you interviewed would also be helpful info.

Thanks so much!

i never joined wth them i chose investment banking.restructuring instead...y dont u talk to current PMs, APMs there now to get a better idea.

Trying :S

Former summer APMM here, was there last summer and have a few friends going back FT.

There are some "marketing math" questions e.g. If x people click on an ad, and x% make a purchase with average value of x dollars, what does cost-per-click need to be for break-even.

There are also more conceptual marketing questions e.g. how would you go about marketing to a specific vertical such as students.

Out of curiosity, is this for the US? I wasn't aware they were recruiting for APMM already.
