Behavioral Technical
The interview process was standard. There wasn't any case study portion. Instead, it was a mix of questions about product management metrics and a typical behavioral interview. The interview felt very scripted, and the interviewers couldn't really adapt their questions to me. If I didn't have a prepared story that fit, I had to improvise something that sounded right.

- What product management metrics have you used?
