Each entry is a user-contributed account and remains attributed to the named company and role. 1. **Nike — a month ago** “The process was somewhat behavorial as opposed to technical. The interviewers were very relaxed, but questions seemed not to be entirely focused on pm.” **Role:** Product Manager · Intern [Read the Nike experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/nike-product-manager-intern-interview-3c43fe) 2. **Stripe — 3 months ago** “The interview was fairly similar to other FAANG style PM interviews. The written assignment asked for a Product Assessment, but the recruiter told me that they also wanted it to demonstrate API understanding, so commentary on the API calls and error messages/suggested improvements is expected. The final interview with the hiring manager is also a potential end of process for a negative result, which is surprising.” **Role:** Product Manager · Staff / L6 [Read the Stripe experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/stripe-staff-product-manager-interview-caaa80) 3. **Aisle — 4 months ago** “The interviewer was polite and good. She gave detailed responses with data on clarifying questions. I believe this was my 1st interview as I started prep, hence I was unstructured.” **Role:** Product Manager · Senior / L5 [Read the Aisle experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/aisle-co-senior-product-manager-interview-c7e431) 4. **Robinhood — 4 months ago** “The recruiter did a good job of giving me an idea of what to expect. Honestly, I didn't practice enough mocks by the time the interview came around. I liked that they had a portal for viewing the application process but I got no notification at all about my rejection.” **Role:** Product Manager · Sr. Staff / L7 [Read the Robinhood experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/robinhood-sr-staff-product-manager-interview-87ad80) 5. **Stripe — 8 months ago** “So far, the recruiter has been super helpful in terms of telling me exactly what to expect in each round.” **Role:** Product Manager · Mid Level / L4 [Read the Stripe experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/stripe-product-manager-interview-5171e1) 6. **Google — 9 months ago** “The process was rigorous, and they clearly expected a high standard of technical knowledge even for a PM role. My recruiter was awesome and really helped move the process forward.” **Role:** Product Manager · Intern [Read the Google experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-product-manager-intern-interview-f76986) 7. **IBM — 9 months ago** “Process was straightforward, online screen then behavioural with product sense. They asked a lot about my experiences/projects that relate to PM. Then a simple product sense question where I picked a product and explained what I would add.” **Role:** Product Manager · Intern [Read the IBM experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/ibm-product-manager-intern-interview-034d78) 8. **Google — 9 months ago** “The process was rigorous, and they clearly expected a high standard of technical knowledge even for a PM role. My recruiter was awesome and really helped move the process forward.” **Role:** Product Manager · Intern [Read the Google experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-product-manager-intern-interview-f76986) 9. **Google — a year ago** “I applied right before the Google APM application closed, got in through a referral, and tried to make my resume read a lot more product-focused without completely rewriting my background. The process for me was one first-round product design interview, then five second-round interviews, then a 72-hour take-home and a final presentation with a PM. The interviews felt pretty traditional PM overall, mostly product vision, analysis, strategy, and judgment, and not especially AI-heavy outside of one Gemini-style prompt. A few interviewers definitely pushed on weak spots and made me pivot, and one round felt rushed enough that I basically had to deliver my answer in one shot. Google gave me no feedback at any stage, but I ended up getting the offer.” **Role:** Product Manager · Entry Level / L3 [Read the Google experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-product-manager-interview-d6ed51) 10. **IBM — 2 years ago** “I got fast-tracked to the final round. So I can't really speak to the standardized experience. But the interviewer was very nice.” **Role:** Product Manager · Intern [Read the IBM experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/ibm-product-manager-intern-interview-95499e) 11. **Google — 2 years ago** “It was quite a lengthy process. The TAT was quite long and slow as well. Didn't receive a lot of feedback to prepare better for the next rounds, but overall was a great learning experience.” **Role:** Technical Program Manager · Intern [Read the Google experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-technical-program-manager-intern-interview-751415) 12. **Google — 2 years ago** “The overall process was spread across months making it challenging to keep up with constant preparation. I was able to ace the product design, analytics and execution questions. I could have done better in the cross functional round.” **Role:** Product Manager · Mid Level / L4 [Read the Google experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-product-manager-interview-46f9f4) 13. **Meta — 3 years ago** “It was an extremely smooth process, though team matching was rough. Questions didn't need to be 100% right interestingly, as one of the rounds I didn't finish.” **Role:** Software Engineer · Mid Level / L4 [Read the Meta experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/meta-facebook-software-engineer-interview-0c22d6) ## Related questions - [What's your least favorite product and why?](https://www.aced.io/questions/22/least-favorite-product) - [What is your favorite Facebook product and why?](https://www.aced.io/questions/774/favorite-facebook-product) - [What is your favorite Facebook product and why?](https://www.aced.io/questions/569/favorite-facebook-product-and-why) ## Related courses ### [Engineering Management Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/engineering-management) ![Engineering Management Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/5AqarwlCDWmr0W7AbMJFwp/16862dab13471f5eb8728b27eb2fbc07/engineering_management_track_compressed_bbabaec4a6__281_29_9a9687c1fb.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We help candidates prepare for engineering manager roles at Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Stripe, and other top companies through mock interviews, frameworks, and advice from senior candidates.
