I had the sense and execution interview yesterday.
Product sense questions
1. Product feasibility analysis of a lending App. I focused individual borrowed over institutional borrowers for the MVP, and suggested both individual lenders and institutional lenders on the lending side. Emphasized on regulations a keg challenge and possibility of more frauds in Facebook. But ended with let's build after full analysis and suggesting key metrics to test. The discussion was two ways, interactive, the interviewer was guiding me but did not receive any cues#productmanager #productmanager . But the interviewer was good and knowledgeable. We exchanged ideas and the interviewer mentioned a few times I brought up good points. But initially it was not very clear what is he asking build the MVP or asses whether we build it not. Overall good exp.
2. Execution questions
We started very good with intro and ice breaker, but only I said but no onto came from other side, which was kinda cold. I researched and the interviewer I guess only worked with Instagram. So I was asked depp drill on purpose of instagram stories, I said I less often use Instagram stories and really sure about the purpose but explained how it works, I insisted if we can take about other facebook apps or generic product execution but the interviewer continued to ask metrics questions on IG stories. I was not very comfortable but tried my best. Interviewer mentioned after IG story is launched, all other app usage kept going down, I was still suggesting to wait for more time to see curves tuning back as people may be busy trying new features, but the scenario interviewer gave me was 6 month only stories usage is up all other fb and IG usage going down. So I suggested if that's really bringing down the revenue significantly then if that's what impacting management most we need to roll off the new Story feature. LOL! I even asked did it ever happen in really, she denied to reveal. I covered all different points to find RCA, but seems nothing else failed except all other app usage going down. Overall I am really confused on how I performed. But overall interview exp was not the best!!
Thought of sharing to help others also see what blind folks think? Am I gonna hear back from facebook? Do I have a chance?

For FB interview I watched FB mock interviews following the links the recruiter had sent. Also, watched a few mock interviews on YouTube. Followed some PM question forums. Revisited all FB apps to stay up to date on recent features. Check 2021 facts on FB usage data worldwide. Thought over some key pain areas for facebook for next 10 years and thought of big ideas, that I could suggest for FB.
