Thanks @sarosh,

So there are couple of things to comment on really. In my experience, the US has a vastly (at least in part) more seasoned idea of what product management is and does. In places like Australia and (i suspect) Europe, it is mostly looked at as a 'take these requirements and execute them' sort of role, vs a 'please work out what we should be building role'. This has been my observations at least.

But in terms of the process, this kind of interview format is essentially the de-facto standard at FANG places, but more broadly outside of the US, I'd say people still interview in traditional ways.

Our structure works like this,

we have a CPO (my role) which is mostly an executive / people leadership role really at this point.

We have two product directors (that look after two seperate streams). These roles are kind of like product management coaching roles.

Then under each product director we have about 5 / 6 cross functional teams, all with a product manager. So the product directors are really just people leadership coaches for the PM's in the cross functional teams.

The only roles that would do this kind of interview format are the product management roles. The product directors and CPO role, would get a vastly different interview format.
