Product Analyst Interview Questions

4,610 product analyst interview questions shared by candidates

Questions were pretty generic, though I had the feeling the hiring manager didn't actually read my resume before the interview. The biggest issue red flag was an impromptu spelling test. Hiring manager claimed it was to see if I knew the proper use of contractions and the distinction between whose and who's, teams and team's. I wondered if the "test" presented to all candidates or if she was just looking for an excuse to exclude. Interviewer kept stating that an apostrophe is being used as a contraction.

Brain teaser: There are 3 jars full of yellow jellybeans. One jar is lemon, one jar is banana, and one is a mixture. The only way to differentiate between the two flavors would be to taste one. They are initially labeled correctly, but someone goes and switches the labels such that they are all wrong. How many jellybeans will you have to eat to determine which jar is which?

Most of the questions are in the Tell us about a time multi-part format. Part 1: Describe the situation/project and your role in it. Part 2: Describe a challenge that existed (the interviewers will specify the challenge, it will usually be something like there was ambiguous direction, there were not enough resources, you had to work with difficult people. Part 3: Explain how you overcame the challenge. Part 4: What you learned/what you would do differently.
