Recent PM interview question I've been using: You're the PM at Netflix handling the home screen. How do you determine how shows get promoted editorially vs algorithmically recommended? Walk through metrics/principles/trade-offs and how it impacts various parts of the biz.

After you retire this I’d be fascinated to see your rubric for it.

Obviously no right or wrong answer. At high level looking for systems thinking - what happens when you influence with editorial or ranking downstream? How does it influence the economics of buying content? How do you trade off the most optimum thing for LTV vs soft considerations

I’d be particularly impressed with candidates who can identify how this impacts partner dynamics, can correctly predict that some partners have already been contractually promised editorial promotional consideration in rights deals, how this impacts ecosystem over years, etc.

And I’d also like someone who can give a principled case either for or against doing the “obvious” thing of “Giving the user our perception of what they are likely to want, all of the time, bowing minimally to other considerations”, weighing it against commercials and artistry.
