How it went

The candidate underwent a multi-stage interview process for a Senior Staff Product Manager role at Meta, including recruiter and aptitude screens, followed by an onsite loop. The preparation involved over 100 hours, covering areas like people management, cross-functional influence, execution, and product sense. Despite feeling strong in earlier stages, the candidate was ultimately rejected, suspecting a lack of depth in metrics, particularly secondary metrics during the product sense section, as the likely reason.
