We are Aced (formerly Exponent), a platform for technical interview preparation. This page is a behavioral, cross-functional Product Manager interview question about working with design teams. ## Question details - **Role:** Product Manager (4) - **Category:** [Behavioral](https://www.aced.io/questions?type=behavioral), [Cross-Functional](https://www.aced.io/questions?type=cross-functional) - **Reported last asked:** 6 months ago - **Interview experiences shared:** 3 - **Community answers:** None contributed yet Detailed company statistics for this question are available through [Upgrade](https://www.aced.io/upgrade?src=questions). ## Interview experiences ### [Abridge · 6 months ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/abridge-senior-product-manager-interview-3ef86e) **Product Manager · Senior / L5** > “Smooth process with very nice people. Take home took some time but was fun to think about their product area. A lot of emphasis on AI fluency both in product and how you work” ### [Google DeepMind · a year ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/google-deep-mind-product-manager-interview-1798cf) **Product Manager** > “I got into the process through a referral, but DeepMind recruiting was separate enough that I had to connect directly rather than just apply through the normal Google portal. The process started with a mostly informational recruiter conversation, then two 30-minute hiring manager intros that felt more like early team matching than screening. After that, I had a four-interview final loop, and despite the different titles, most of the rounds were really just AI product cases with some overlap, especially around how I would think about proactivity in Gemini. The weird part was how little the interview titles matched what actually happened, and even the recruiter admitted they were still figuring out a new recruiting system. My biggest takeaway is that this loop felt much less standardized than places like Meta, and they wanted me to go all the way to an actual proposed solution and walk through the UX, not just frame the problem well.” ### [Uber · 2 years ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/uber-senior-product-manager-interview-4e6a7c) **Product Manager · Senior / L5** > “I interviewed for a specific Senior PM role, not a generalist PM funnel, and that shaped the whole process. After the sourcer screen, I had a hiring manager case, then the Uber Jam take-home deck and presentation, then a five-interview onsite with engineering, data science, product, and design counterparts. The whole loop felt much more practical and Uber-specific than most big tech PM interviews I have done, and almost every round turned into a collaborative case instead of a clean framework exercise. The biggest surprise was how technical the engineering round got, because it was basically a system design discussion around gift card redemption. I ended up getting the offer and accepted it.” ## Related questions - [Tell me about your design process.](https://www.aced.io/questions/3360/describe-your-design-process) - [Tell me about your experience working with Android.](https://www.aced.io/questions/4270/experience-working-with-android) - [Tell me about your experience working with scientists.](https://www.aced.io/questions/2881/experience-working-with-scientists) ## 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 prepare candidates for PM interviews at Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Apple, Google, and more.
