How it went
The interview process at eBay for the Product Manager role involved an initial recruiter screen, followed by an interview with the portfolio director. The subsequent round consisted of four separate interviews over a week with a panel including two Group PMs, an engineering manager, and a design manager. While the company provided four themes for the panel interviews, the actual questions in the PM rounds leaned more towards execution rather than the expected strategic or product design focus.
