They really care about problem framing over getting to the perfect answer. PM interview was with one product manager and one engineering manager. Product sense question about how you'd improve a specific feature in the Telus MyAccount app, then metrics for defining success on a new feature rollout where they asked for both engagement and business metrics. Also a behavioral about navigating a disagreement between product and engineering where priorities differed. The engineering manager barely spoke during my product sense but asked pointed questions during the metrics part
