Question 1
How to you prepare a product strategy and roadmap?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Melbourne) in Jun 2021
Interview
Was sought out via LinkedIn by HR recruiter. Had first 30min phone call, second interview was to present a product that you had evolved over time and how I developed the vision, roadmap and bought the team on the journey to two other Product managers (in a different team). This task was a strange one for the very first interview as it required a lot of work to pull this all together. I was provided some feedback as to why I didn't progress which was very basic stuff, making me think it wasn't genuine or they were an unhealthy level of perfectionist. The feedback was the metrics we used to measure the product success weren't the same as theirs. I mentioned from the very start I manage data products not tech so these would of course would be different. If this experience in data versus tech was an issue they shouldn't have put me through to the presentation interview... save us all a lot of time! The salary was also quite below average and I mentioned it was lower than I'd expected in the first chat and I was met with "we can't move on the salary, we match Atlassian salaries"... cool.
