How many questions, and how long
Google Cloud states 50-60 questions for PCDE, with a time limit of 120 minutes. That is about 2.4 minutes a question, including the time it takes to read the stem and the options.
Google Cloud publishes a range rather than a fixed count, so the pace above assumes the low end of it. At the top of the range you have less time a question.
What the questions look like
Multiple choice and multiple select, in Google's own words. No labs, no console access, and nothing to configure during the exam.
