It consisted mostly of open-ended questions, included a short follow-up near the end, and involved substantial discussion of tradeoffs. Question discussed: > How would you improve a product you use every day for a new market? The candidate’s approach was to select and size a segment first, compare three options, then choose one option and define its success metric. #### Interview tips The candidate recommended practicing answers aloud with a timer, keeping a framework ready for every round, and asking the recruiter what each interviewer will focus on so examples can be tailored accordingly. #### Company culture The candidate described the interviewers as collaborative and focused on the user.
