I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
Product sense (design a product) and product execution (how to evaluate a product in the market) interviews.
If you're an experienced person definitely useful to spend time thinking about the way they want you to answer the problem rather than how you might actually do this IRL at your job.
I had a mixed experience in terms of interviewer quality.
Think I got unlucky with 2 more junior PMs who didn't really seem to be understand how to interview.
One was ten minutes late, suggested we could add this on at the end and then cut me off ten minutes early.
The other was just an incredibly unhelpful and non-conversational interviewer(you're told it's going to be fairly open dialogue to go through a problem and it should be conversational).
Based on my experience I'm unconvinced by the quality of the people I might work with (which was main reason why I agreed to interview there).
Probably wouldn't apply again based on this 🤷♂️
Very well organized. Very much got the feeling that they want me to get in. I did not get the offer after all for a reason that everyone else thinks is my strength - and they did not see that in me. I was not able to convey that to them over the course of the interviews. Felt a bit like the system is a bit off if they cannot detect one of my main strengths.
There are many rounds of interviews. First, the recruiter will reach out to you. Then he/she will schedule follow-up calls for you with other PMs. There are 2 video conference interviews (One focuses on product design, another on execution). If you pass these two interviews, then you will have the 3rd one.
