“The process was standard, with a recruiter chat first, then scheduling round 1 with 2 PMs: 1 on product sense and the other on metrics. Product sense - the interviewer likes to know how you frame the problem, set goals, and how it ties with the overall company strategy. Make sure to be concise and walk users through problems to solutions before time is up.”

“Overall, the interview process was well organized and the interviewers were professional and engaged. The questions focused heavily on product thinking, execution, stakeholder management, and communication rather than memorizing frameworks. I appreciated that the conversations felt collaborative and interviewers often built on previous answers instead of jumping to unrelated questions. The most challenging aspect was the depth of follow-up questions—they continuously probed assumptions and wanted increasingly specific examples, so it's important to have detailed stories prepared rather than high-level answers.”

“The recruiter was kind and well organized. The product sense question was unique and fun to solve. The execution question threw me through a loop. I assumed OpenAI carefully released models for safety reasons but was told they give the model to everyone immediately to test it, so I had to pivot my launch strategy at the last moment.”
