Did you have a coding part for Google PM interview? If you did, whats your recommendation to prepare? LeetCode ( hard/meduim/easy), or HackerRank?
Recruiters prep guide/email says coding (algorithms, data structures, OP) will be covered. Also lists HackerRank, InterviewCake, CTCI (book), etc. I left SW ENG in 2006 (after about 10 years of C/C++/Java) for tech PM, and has only coding little for POCs, demos, learning/experiments. Now, spending time on HackerRank and above to dive into LeetCode and CMTI. Have a week to prepare for the phone intrrviw. Perhaps, it depends on the team or recruiters?
I was asked to code up support vector machines
Did u end up as PM at FB? Do they have similar interviews? I'm targeting Google Cloud as that's my domain, not consumer.
Code up SVMs for a PM position?? What you tell em you're some sorta kaggle pro?
I had a coding question on a phone screen for Google PM, but the interviewer was an aquihire, so maybe that had something to do with it?
Yes, happened to me few years ago too! Recently, I was told they are not supposed to do that on the phone interview!
Phone screen no, onsite 1 coding interview, but that was 3 yrs ago.
I interviewed recently and haven't been asked a single thing about coding. Their email states they might ask you a technical question but it's usually pretty straightforward and won't require much coding, it's definitely not going to be an algorithm or anything complicated. You should focus on acing the actual PM part of the interview, you're supposed to get a job as PMs, not as engineers. Who cares if you can code, your day to day won't have anything to do with that.
Looks like you didn’t clear the PM part. Technical interview happens after lunch. If you’re cocky about technical things don’t matter for PM, stay where you are.
Actually cleared and rejected offer.
You don't need it
