The recruiter reached out because my background lined up with what they want, and it felt obvious from the start that this team cares a lot more about ads domain fluency than generic big tech interview performance. I had a recruiter screen, a TTL cache phone screen, and then a five-round onsite with one coding round, two behavioral EM rounds, data modeling, and system design. The technicals were mostly straightforward if I could talk through tradeoffs, but the behaviorals were a much harder vibe check than I expected. I am still waiting to hear back, but the biggest thing I took away is that if I can speak confidently about how ads serving, demand, targeting, and capping actually work, they will forgive more than they would at other companies." ## Community answers No answers have been contributed by the community yet. ## Related questions - [Tell me about a time when you successfully influenced the product roadmap.](https://www.aced.io/questions/856/influence-product-roadmap) - [Tell me about a time when you launched a product.](https://www.aced.io/questions/1955/time-you-launched-a-product) - [Tell me about a time when you influenced the roadmap for a team and brought about a shift in thought.](https://www.aced.io/questions/2716/influence-roadmap-team-thought-shift) ## 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 roles at Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Apple, Google, and more.
