They require a mix of analytical thinking and knowledge about various metrics. • Example Questions: • “Estimate the number of queries Google receives per day.” • “How many Android phones are sold in the US each year?” • “Estimate the storage needed for all emails sent in Gmail in a single day.” Technical Knowledge While not requiring you to code, these questions assess your understanding of technical concepts and how they apply to product management. • Example Questions: • “Explain how an API works.” • “What is the difference between a database and a data warehouse?” • “Describe the process of A/B testing and its importance in product development.” Behavioral These questions explore your past experiences, work style, and how you handle various situations.
