The next question was - If I were a PM of google maps, how would I improve the location accuracy. Was asked follow up questions on market sizing, customer behaviour, pricing, features. I made a phone for tracking the location of kids. Was asked to design a handheld device with a screen. Why is it important and what could be the solutions? How would I rank solutions? Tip- 'This involved thinking on the feet and some creativity, along with basic strategic knowledge and ability to prioritise.' Round 3 (Interview with PM, Product and Strategy) How to convince engineers that a certain rate was acceptable or not? Tip- 'They were just testing basic programming knowledge, ability to understand technical aspects and negotiate with engineers and how to unblock them.' Round 2 (Interview with Senior PM, Product Insight and Design, Leadership) We spoke about how to measure bounce rate, ways to optimise and reduce bounce rate. The second question involved designing a website and debugging some of the metrics. I was also writing pseudo code on the whiteboard after explaining and thinking out aloud my algorithm. I mentioned the brute force order n factorial method and a slightly more optimised version using a hash table. One being a standard question to detect if two words are anagrams. PMs are not expected to write code, but definitely understand code since a lot of the day to day work involves speaking to engineers. This was the first round with a software engineer. This was followed by 5 Onsite Interviews (all on the same day) a couple of days later.' Round 1 (Interview with Software developer, Technical) I mentioned Nykaa as the digital product and an Ikea alarm clock which was kept on my desk (even showed it to the interviewer)! Then on mentioning Nykaa - I was asked what I could do to make it a better product? Tip- 'Just having a basic sense of product helped to get past this round. The intention was to just do a hygiene check - whether its worth to waste 5 interviewers time on this candidate or not. I was asked basic questions on product principles like - what do you look for in a good product, what principles do you value? Then I was also asked about my favourite digital and physical product. This was an initial screening round on hangouts with a PM on the other side. The last round was with HR which was related to my past work experience and negotiation. First-round was with the Head of Engineering, the second round was with the Senior Product Manager, In the third round, I was given a take-home assignment. My PM interview consisted of 4 rounds including HR. However, hope that the experience narrative here helps aspiring product managers. We cannot reveal the identity of the Interviewee.
