Interview questions with a PM?
I'm currently interviewing for senior software engineer and have a couple interviews with PMs (culture fit, etc).
I've had some rocky relationships with PMs.
As a PM, what would you like an engineer to ask you?
As an engineer, what would you ask a PM to understand how the work with engineers, what they prioritize, if they throw engineers under the bus, etc?
I've also had many experiences with great PMs.

As a PM I’m working to answer to many stockholders. What is most important in my engineering team is the ability to be realistic with timelines for delivery, flexible if change in priority is needed and a true understanding and partnership that neither can do their job without the other so a “we” mindset. I would assume you may want to understand of the PM is more technical and likes to be involved in architectural decisions or is more functional.

I just winded up Product Sense interview at Meta. The interviewer started with quite some intro and then followed up with a question on “why would you like to work at Meta?”. That again took away some time. During the interview, I sensed a lot of urgency from the interviewer to get to articulating the user problem, and the interview overall went not as expected! Because I couldnt follow the structure I had thought I would like follow. Anyone here with insider knowledge of how this might go down?

Thread: I’ve been talking to this company for months and the recruiter has been in and out with communication. A few weeks ago, he reached out, apologized for the delay and explained they needed to figure out role priorities but that they’re moving forward, I’m a top candidate, & they wanted to wrap up interviews and extend an offer the following week. He never reached out to set up interviews and hasn’t replied to any of my calls or emails.
