How would you describe your management style?
I didn't find any of the questions particularly difficult. There were some very specific scenarios posited with regards to strategic decision making, priority setting, team dynamics and resource contention that I interpreted as being exigent issues for the company. The impression this left me with is that early tasks for the person stepping into this role would be to clarify certain roles and reporting responsibilities and ensure that the production roadmap was clearly aligned with strategic business priorities and well communicated to all levels of the company.
Why BARK!? What interested you about the role? Tell me about your experience in product development. Do you have dogs?
The VP of Product Development asked me to rank order several things that are all important in software management: quality, reliability, innovation, responsiveness to customer needs, etc.
What makes you the best candidate? Compared to other candidates who have a lot more experience and higher title than you, you would not be considered for this position but I just wanted go talk go you because of your pet experience.
Almost all of the questions focused on collaboration with others, which is a good sign for company culture.
They were mostly concerned with finding someone who could work within their customer focused "bust through walls" culture.
Many questions, but some of the best were around customer obsession and product excellence.
