    Patrick McKenzie Retweeted Sriram Krishnan

    I like many aspects of this interview question. Any interest in me writing an interview question (for e.g. PM) and a rubric attached to it? I have a very strong view that most interviewers/interviewing orgs do not do this very well, and world lacks good annotated examples.https://twitter.com/sriramk/status/1222547047846297600 …

    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.

        A view I hold less strongly: you should be able to hand candidates your question and rubric in advance of the interview, which substantially no firm will admit to doing.

        “Admit to?” Many people understand that questions lead to places like e.g. Glassdoor. The more insidious vulnerability is your team will prep their favored candidates for how to answer your question. This will often be done entirely in good faith.

        “How could you do that in good faith!?!” Pretend you’re having a discussion with a candidate you’re bullish about. Candidate expresses concern about upcoming interview. You empathize. Candidate asks you for advice about particular areas your org treats as very signalful.

        Many, many, many interviewers will *immediately* postmortem previous interviews with the candidate, which is not a problem *unless* you were hoping this candidate would be treated similarly to candidates who put less character points into Interviews Well.

        We won’t ask you to implement data structures like red-black trees. But it will help to recap data structures common in UI engineering like arrays, maps, sets, and DOM trees. You’ll also find it helpful to read about CS topics like Big O notation and tree traversal. We don’t expect you to memorize any particular algorithms. It is more important that you can apply these principles in practice to create responsive UIs.

        We’ve updated the wording we send to the Front End Engineer candidates to better reflect the Facebook interview process for that role. I hope this helps folks prepare for their interviews! pic.twitter.com/EvTyKbugYT

        Yes, very interested. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to better screen PM candidates and set questions + rubric seems key to me

        I would be very interested. I'm most interested in what the rubric looks like for a question like that.
