Product Critique Prompt
In a product management interview, choose a product you genuinely admire but that still has obvious shortcomings. Assume the interviewer wants a structured critique focused on users, metrics, and trade‑offs.
Describe
- What the product does exceptionally well (core strengths and why they matter).
- Its main pain points or gaps (for specific user segments or use cases).
- Concrete changes you would make, how they address the gaps, and why they would move key metrics (include target metrics, hypotheses, and how you’d validate impact).
