The interview process consisted in 5 interviews: 1) Hiring Manager with some system design questions 2) Program Sense: Evaluating the ability to manage complex projects from end-to-end, including early-stage roadmap creation, problem definitions, scope and requirements gathering, project planning, problem-solving, and risk mitigation. 3) Results Agility: Evaluating the results in new or unstructured situations. Responding to tough challenges. 4) TPM System Design: Evaluating understanding of the product by clearly identifying requirements and use cases (Product Sense) and diving into the technical details (e.g. design, scaling, product enhancement, e2e system design, tradeoffs/benefits, solutions on how to scale, define MVP). 5) Product Sense: Evaluating the understanding of basic KPIs and metrics, and what it takes to launch a product; define business/performance related metrics.

One recruiter call, one hiring manager interview then onsite loop of 4 interviews. Overall it’s pretty straight forward and meta has a good and smooth interview process. The recruiter will walk you through everything and their portal gives you enough information

Screening: recruiter + tech. Includes deep dive into one of the programs you led and a lot of whats and whys. Onsite: 5 rounds (project retro, architecture/design, program sense, partnerships/collab, behavioral/leadership). Project retro: past projects with a lot of pokes on scalability, tradeoffs, etc . Design: standard system design but with a TPM lens on execution and tradeoffs. Program Sense: how you build roadmaps, manage budgets, resource utilization ,and handle shifting goals. Partnership: working with cross functional teams. Leadership: again very standard behavioral with team management principles. 2 cents: take the help of a recruiter and ask for docs/resources - mine was super helpful. Refresh on all the aspects including design, program sense, and leadership (helps them choose levels sometimes IC4/IC5/IC6). Do not underestimate project retro - they ACTUALLY have very intense follow-ups. And if you can, talk to someone who’s been there, may be a friend or someone. I found a sr meta tpm on prepfully and he helped a lot, esp w answer structures cause all round are roughly 45 mins and you’ve got to share all your strengths within time. And yeah checkout reddit, blind for up-to-date stories.
