Google Technical Program Manager (Junior Level) - Interview Preparation Guide 2026

Google's Technical Program Manager interview process for junior-level candidates typically spans 4-6 weeks and includes an initial recruiter screening call, a technical phone screen to assess program management fundamentals and technical understanding, and 4-5 onsite interviews. The onsite rounds evaluate your ability to manage cross-functional technical projects, communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, handle ambiguity and shifting requirements, design scalable systems and roadmaps, and demonstrate Google's leadership principles through real past experiences. The process focuses on your hands-on program management capability, technical depth (sufficient to influence engineering decisions), and cultural fit with Google's collaborative, data-driven approach.
