Group Product Manager interview questions shared by candidates
At peak times, in a theme park customer satisfaction goes for a toss due to long waiting periods at the rides. How can you solve this problem using technology?
2 Answers↳
- Take preference from the visitors the moment they enter and recommend a route plan. Idea is to compute the demand for various rides and optimise the wait times. - Issue a digital token when they land up at the queue and they are free to spend time around until their turn. We could issue a notification on digital token asking visitor to come back to the ride when it is just right time to get onto the ride Less

For the "human" interview, none really - they don't try "trick" you. They just want to assess you honestly and see what you are like, which is nice. Obviously you need to be able to discuss and answer intelligently regarding whatever you say your skills and experience is. The computer based assessment tools ask weird questions and some interesting brain-teasers, but these are to test lateral thinking and things like that - more of a game, no "wrong" answers really.

One of the best interview experiences I've had.
Not exactly one question but they generally wanted to know how I navigated tough prioritization decisions.

Lead w/ what is best for the customer
Assignment had to be created on: What was the product vision? How would you describe your product strategy? How did this fit into the company strategy? What was the context in which you were operating? How did you get buy-in to proceed? Who did you work with directly (design, engineering, etc.) and indirectly (stakeholders, etc.)? How did you validate your assumptions and separate your biases as you were figuring out what to build? How did you prioritise features? How did you balance technical, user, and business needs and make informed decisions about when and what you shipped to customers? Which challenges did you face? What was the outcome, and how did you validate your success?

I asked questions to eventually reach to the problem but we couldn't reach there in 50 min. At the end, the interviewer wanted to speed up the process and end the conversation. At the end of the call, he informed the the problem he had in mind. Less
