Product Manager Technical Interview Questions

S G. - "If it's a product end to end, then there's a lot to say. If it's just a feature on top of a product then I will focus on the complexity and how I break complex tasks into small milestones to partner with XFN teams to nail it. Focus on situation, task, actions and results"See full answer

Aaron W. - "Clarification questions What is the purpose of connecting the DB? Do we expect high-volumes of traffic to hit the DB Do we have scalability or reliability concerns? Format Code -> DB Code -> Cache -> DB API -> Cache -> DB - APIs are built for a purpose and have a specified protocol (GET, POST, DELETE) to speak to the DB. APIs can also use a contract to retrieve information from a DB much faster than code. Load balanced APIs -> Cache -> DB **Aut"See full answer

Anubhav A. - "Clarifying questions: Are we taking about a personal parking lot or a public parking lot Do we have an objective in head for this lot -> Make money? Public parking lot from govt body Do we have a particular location in head for this -> basement, outside some building or on the roof Are we particular about the number of vehicles it can take up? Are we particular about the kind of vehicles that it can take up? (2 wheelers, 4 wheelers, heavy weight 4 wheelers) Taking a few assumptions:"See full answer

Abdurhman M. - "Solving current problems by considering what would have happened if the past had been slightly different."See full answer

Shahid K. - "Asked clarifying questions, this was similar to box. Took a minute to gather thoughts. Came up with a structured approach. Focused on use cases, prioritized it. They wanted to focus on security aspects, MFA, simultaneous read/write operations, etc."See full answer

Ian R. - "You might build a product like this a few ways. I think you'd definitely want a temperature sensor device (maybe like a TMP422, or maybe there's a different one that is standard for wearables) that was worn by the individual. As far as tracking social distance, my answer here is more dependent on the state of the art of robust (wearable) distance measurement. Maybe there's something available better than ultrasonic sensors, maybe there's some kind of electromagnetism based solution that isn't in"See full answer

Scott S. - "As engineering managers, it’s our obligation to prioritize and manage technical debt properly. However, achieving the correct mix between reducing technical debt and providing new features while meeting deadlines can be fairly tough.To manage technical debt efficiently, it’s vital to first understand how to detect it inside your projects. One way to do this is by doing regular code reviews and encouraging your team to share any concerns or areas where they feel the codebase may be improved. This"See full answer

Darpan D. - "Clarifying When we say cloud gaming, we refer to a video gaming experience using cloud computing, right? Assumption: Yes. Understanding of cloud computing first. I'll use some analogies: Imagine you are looking to do heavy computing but don't have a powerful CPU and GPU. CPU and GPU are like your big calculators. You can buy a powerful CPU and GPU, but problems: It costs a lot to buy. It costs a lot to run. You don't need it 24-7. You are not a un"See full answer

Coco H. - "These works often aren't comparable, so that I'd use a balanced portfolio of 20%-30% engineering needs and 70%-80% user needs to satisfy both sides. However, this is only a starting point, if engineering requests more than this baseline then I would use ROI to prioritize."See full answer

Sim S. - "Started with user-groups to identify the differences world wide: speed of internet, how high end devices are The interviewer just wanted to dive into the questions of latency & the technical fast. I then said let's separate out server vs client. On server side, cannot have australian users hitting california servers for data. So must be some sort of global availability of caching. And ensure rapid read out of that cache so something like a redis solution would help. Then switch gears to cli"See full answer

Naga M. - "Based on the required significance level (usually less than 5%) and based on the test power (usually 95%?), I will calculate the required sample size. Once I get the sample size, then I will do the A/B testing until I meet the sample size."See full answer

Karthik M. - "Assumptions & Clarifications Users have access to all Google Workspace applications like Google Drive, Gmail and the same photo editing tool - let us call this tool - Google Photo Editor (GPhoto). Users can share the images like Google Docs - giving people read-only, read-write / edit access Goals Google's vision is to organize the world's information and make it accessible. GPhoto's mission / goal is to organize the world’s photo and make it accessible to others to view, edit or"See full answer

Musonda C. - "TCP and UDP are ways in which data is transferred over the internet. TCP needs to have a connection between the two hosts in order for data to be transferred, while UDP begin the transfer without waiting for a connection between the two hosts. This makes UDP faster, but not as reliable as TCP because there is a chance the data transfer wont happen in UDP due to the uncertainty of the connection. TCP is used where reliable data transfer is crucial e.g file transfers, email, web browsing and UDP"See full answer

Marwan O. - "My company was acquired and I was responsible for planning and managing a transition & integration of custom real-time time-series data and event capture software. I worked with lab scientists (who were running the instruments from which the data would be captured) to understand their unique needs compared to the use cases the software was originally written and deployed for. I wrote proposals for integrating specific components of the software and abandoning others, receiving review and a"See full answer

Parth P. - "Establish more servers on regional bases or locally and move network traffic to these servers instead of keeping on one server."See full answer
