Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
1. [craft & execution + sense] - You are the PM of google flights and we need to monetize our strategy. What would you design? 2. [strategy + sense] - You are a PM at google and we are considering designing a lawn mower - what should we do? 3. [analytical + craft and execution] - You’re the PM on Search “snippets” which is an algorithmically derived tagline for organic content on search that appears under results to give people a sense of what the page is about. Say your engineering team comes to you with an improvement to the algorithm and wants to implement it - what would you do? Once you decide what to do - how would you implement this ? Who would you work with? What if you implemented it and you saw paid content from advertisers take a hit? Then a couple behaviorals like why are you leaving Meta now? 4. [cross functional collaboration + craft & execution] (this ended up being more strategy? — Lots of behavioral scenarios including “time you faced conflict” “time team disagreed” “what was the impact you landed” then a follow up on “you’re a PM at Snapchat - what is our 3 year strategy” 5. [googleyness & leadership] Why Google, Why are you leaving, Who are your closest ally’s on your team, What would happen if Google fired all of its PMs tomorrow? Then we broke out into a design —> design an experience as the PM of search for people to book flights who are traveling for the first time ever.

Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
