HR Outreach & Scheduling The process started with HR reaching out to schedule the first round. After confirming availability, the interview was set up. First Round (with Hiring Leader) Interviewer: Team Leader Duration: ~1 hour The interview focused on two main areas: Past Experience: The interviewer asked detailed questions about my resume. The focus was on how I identified problems, built solutions, executed plans, and measured results. Case Questions: The interviewer presented product-related scenarios tied to the role. For example: If TikTok’s ad CTR is 30% lower than a competitor’s, how would you analyze the reasons? If users want to change the background of their photos, how would you design the workflow as a PM for an ad product? The case questions emphasized structured problem-solving and product sense rather than “right” answers.
