Screening: recruiter + tech. Includes deep dive into one of the programs you led and a lot of whats and whys. Onsite: 5 rounds (project retro, architecture/design, program sense, partnerships/collab, behavioral/leadership). Project retro: past projects with a lot of pokes on scalability, tradeoffs, etc . Design: standard system design but with a TPM lens on execution and tradeoffs. Program Sense: how you build roadmaps, manage budgets, resource utilization ,and handle shifting goals. Partnership: working with cross functional teams. Leadership: again very standard behavioral with team management principles. 2 cents: take the help of a recruiter and ask for docs/resources - mine was super helpful. Refresh on all the aspects including design, program sense, and leadership (helps them choose levels sometimes IC4/IC5/IC6). Do not underestimate project retro - they ACTUALLY have very intense follow-ups. And if you can, talk to someone who’s been there, may be a friend or someone. I found a sr meta tpm on prepfully and he helped a lot, esp w answer structures cause all round are roughly 45 mins and you’ve got to share all your strengths within time. And yeah checkout reddit, blind for up-to-date stories.
