Senior Product Designer interviews at FAANG companies typically follow a structured multi-round process designed to evaluate deep design expertise, strategic thinking, cross-functional leadership, and ability to drive product vision. The process combines design problem-solving, design systems knowledge, behavioral assessment, and cultural fit evaluation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate not only strong execution skills but also the ability to mentor junior designers, influence cross-functional teams, and think strategically about product direction and scalability.
