Company Product Strategy and Roadmap Questions

Research and clearly articulate the company product strategy, business model, and the broader organizational and market context in which products operate. Explain core products and product lines, target customer segments, value propositions, monetization models, key performance metrics, recent initiatives and launches, and relevant industry and financial context. Understand how the product area fits into the company wide multi year vision and strategic priorities, and be ready to discuss the product roadmap, trade offs, resource allocation decisions, team structure and growth plans, and competitive dynamics. Be prepared to demonstrate how the role you are interviewing for contributes to strategic objectives and product priorities, including expected deliverables, stakeholder relationships, and the support and constraints you would face. Prepare thoughtful questions for hiring managers about strategic direction, organizational priorities, and roadmap trade offs.
