"I got in through a referral for an L7 PM role on NotebookLM inside Gemini. The process included a recruiter screen, a conversational hiring manager deep dive, and an on-site split into two phases: first, product design and execution; then, technical system design and a leadership behavioral.
The unusual part was a live-coding section during the product design round, where I had to prototype the thing I had just proposed, and most of the pushback was about how I prompted and reprompted. Overall, it was one of the most practical AI PM loops I have done, and it matched what the recruiter told me almost exactly. I made it to the final round but did not get the offer."

"I went through the full Manager, Product Management interview loop, and the biggest thing I noticed was how standardized it was. I had a recruiter screen, hiring manager conversations because team matching happened in the middle of the process, a one-hour mini case, and then a virtual power day with four back-to-back interviews. Capital One was honestly better than most companies about prep because my recruiter walked me through the process, gave me practice materials, and the case question bank looked a lot like the real interviews. The surprising part was how business-case-heavy the process was, because three of the interviews leaned on revenue, cost, profit, break-even, and recommendation questions that felt more business analyst than PM. The most product-specific round by far was the product discovery case, which felt like a collaborative working session instead of a gotcha interview."
