Product Manager Interview Experiences

Twwo coding questions, one medium array problem and one harder one involving trees. the onsite had a couple rounds, first was behavioral focused heavily on their Leadership principles especially customer obsession and ownership, had to prep STAR stories for all of them. second round was more technical with a system design question about building a scalable service. they also had me write a one pager about a product improvement idea.

One way video with 9 questions then HR called me for a quick chat. Manager interview was only 30 min and went into side projects.

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.

long process, recruiter screen then written assessment then three interviews for product sense analytical thinking and leadership. market sizing was harder than expected.

Gave a solid answer on the product design but wasn't specific enough about success metrics. hirevue behavioral first, then a product interview to design a Jira feature for distributed teams and prioritize it. Cut before final round.
