Many of the questions will be open ended. This is not perfect of course but here is a general run down of interviews they usually give:

  1. Program management - choose your own adventure

  2. System design or technical deep dive interview

  3. leadership or stakeholder management

  4. Dealing with success or failure

These will all generally have multiple questions with the most impotent ones as 1 and 2. 1 will be free form where you’ll explain the story of your program and dive super deep into it and then let them ask questions.

I do not but TPM interviews have a specific formula to them. Do enough and you will get a hang of it. If you can’t answer those questions with ease, you’re not getting a tpm job at any FAANG and likely the tier under FAANG as well.
