What are TPM interviews like at FB? How different are they from Product Manager interviews (product sense,product execution)? Are TPM interviews easier to crack?

      Hi awesomnes,

      I had added the particular website, based on positive feedback that I had seen from others. I don’t have any particular affiliation or any personal connection with it. There are not many resources for TPM mock interviews and it seemed to be a good option.

      However, what you are saying is really important. Could you go into some more details about why it was not worth it?

      I noticed the positive reviews on Facebook as well and hence decided to pay $180 for the mock interview. Yet, I felt I needed evidence to trust that the interviewer was indeed experienced and had the relevant TPM interview experience. The interviewer did not turn on the video, wanted to be anonymous and claimed he worked at Facebook in Menlo Park. But I would have appreciated reviewing his LinkedIn to understand the level of experience and technicality of his role at Facebook. Made me analyze why it had odd timings like 9 pm and 10 pm PST at night if the interviewer was local.
      The interviewer who worked at Facebook did not have insights into TPM interviews at Google and said I had to focus on coding interviews too. Mocked me in the beginning by saying 'I'm not going to ask you a coding question. Don't worry. But it is important to get some practice'.

      He lacked attention to detail.
      I wanted to give him a birds eye view to the product and he had probing questions on the architecture, which was great, but I didn't realize he assumed that was the project I was speaking about, since it was a project retrospective interview. We ended up discussing my product for 30 minutes before he realized what was going on.

      He interrupted a lot and, imo, did not have the traits of an experienced FANG TPM interviewer. But he let me know that he would be asking probing questions. I enjoyed taking them but there was little time in the end to discuss the actual project.

      The fact that I could not trust that he worked at Facebook was on the back on my mind when I did the interview and there is a possibility that the lack of trust influenced my judgment.
