Scheduling was smooth and communication was clear throughout. What went well: the interviews themselves were substantive and well-run, and the recruiter was responsive at every stage. I especially appreciated being offered a feedback call after the decision. That's rare, and the feedback was specific and actionable.” ![Cisco logo](https://exponent-static.s3.amazonaws.com/company_logos/cisco.png) ### Anduril — Technical Program Manager, Senior / L5 — a year ago [Read the Anduril interview experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/anduril-senior-technical-program-manager-interview-8f2df5) > “A recruiter found me on LinkedIn, then I had a recruiter screen, a surprisingly early screen with a skip-level manager in the air defense org, and then a four-part panel. The panel was one domain-heavy system design plus three behavioral TPM-style interviews on execution, ownership, deliverables, decision-making, and alignment. The hardest part by far was the technical/system design round because it was built around designing radar coverage for a moving ship, and even though they said they knew I didn't come from that industry, the actual expectations still felt pretty domain specific. Everyone I talked to was very professional and genuinely into the work, and even the skip-level person was unusually involved in the details. I didn't get the role because they wanted someone a little more senior for that L6 spot.” ![Anduril logo](https://exponent-static.s3.amazonaws.com/company_logos/anduril.png) ## Community answers No answers have been contributed by the community yet. ## Related questions - [Tell me about a project where you had to make technical trade-offs.](https://www.aced.io/questions/154/technical-tradeoffs) - [What is a technical challenge you faced in your previous project?](https://www.aced.io/questions/1489/technical-challenge-previous-project) - [What is the most technical initiative you have handled as a Product Manager?](https://www.aced.io/questions/1714/most-technical-initiative-product-manager) ## Related courses ### [Product Management Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/pm) ![Product Management Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/4PFBEhtIRyKwPm14eaBAFm/ad92a8c4dd1dc51108b3a855de64473b/product_management_track_compressed_063e6d4b35.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We cover product strategy, product sense, analytical and execution interviews, leadership and drive interviews, and technical PM interviews.
