I’m interviewing for a PM role (manager of PMs). Have had 2 informational video Conf so far, with the group head and one other manager (both very positive conversations and nice people).

Now I’m going onsite for a “Jam Session” with an Eng Manager and the PM Manager I already spoke with.

What should I expect?

I want to be as prepared as possible, and Glassdoor isn’t very helpful on this.

      Acoustic guitar. I can play any song as long as the chords are limited to C, D and G.

    Be sure to call it a "jam sesh" to impress your interviewers even more.

    Did they tell you what you’ll be jamming about? It’s usually to brainstorm a solution to a specific problem. Bring lots and lots of ideas of course. But make sure you don’t act arrogant...ask them for their opinions, for more information...show you’re a team player and an awesome person to ‘jam’ with

      Thanks for the tips! I don’t know specific topic but I can guess based on the role and group.
