Product Manager Interview Experience

The process was pretty standard compared to what I'd read online. My first round had product sense plus analytical/execution, and the second round was the full loop with product sense, analytical/execution, and behavioral. The content itself matched expectations, but what stood out was how dependent the experience was on the interviewer, especially in the second round where I felt one person was biasing me toward a specific path without really saying it outright. I had about 2 to 3 weeks between rounds, and Meta seemed flexible on scheduling, which helped with prep. I didn't make it to team matching. My read is that Meta's PM process is very structured, but your experience can still vary a lot based on the interviewer. It really did feel like the weather where you don't know if you're getting a sunny day or a rainy day, so I wouldn't assume every interviewer will be equally neutral. They also don't give much useful feedback afterward, so a lot of your learning has to come from your own reflection and prep. One thing I did like is that the process didn't feel tied to one urgent req since team matching comes after, so there seemed to be flexibility to push interviews out if I needed more time to prepare.
