I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Global Relay (London, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
Matched with Global Relay by an external recruiter for a position at the data acquisition team. First stage: 1:1 with HM. Friendly, passed me to the second stage with the ProgM, ProjM and another TPM. I was presented with mostly situational questions tapping into my experience. A couple of programme sense questions came up: with focus on dealing with dependencies, priorities and communication, and as far as I can recollect I was not asked about vision/strategy at any point. No product sense questions (surprisingly). Some technical questions came up, but did not explore the depth of my experience.
You have 10 features in your MVP. A CEO asks you to add another feature, which from your previous market/user research does not move any metrics. How do you go about this? Follow up: an important customer needs this feature, and it may help us win big in the future
Engineers came up with a solution. Due to change of priorities, some of the work needs to be scrapped and they need to prioritise a new feature. How do you convince an engineer to do it?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Global Relay (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Multiple interview rounds, getting to talk with the hiring manager, future team mates and senior executive. A lot of tough questions, but it also provided me with a good idea of what the role entailed.

Question 1
Some very specific knowledge questions for the type of work that the team does, as well as more general product management and agile processes questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Global Relay (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview process took over 3 months and unnecessarily lengthy for no good reason. Seems they couldn't make up their minds or don't exactly know what they require from the candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you upgrade legacy systems without affecting customer experience? How do you handle customer requests that is not on the roadmap?
