6 Tests of Execution or Analytics Questions

Written By Wendy-Lynn

The analytics or execution questions, think heavy on metrics, tradeoffs and prioritization prompts, are looking to test your ability to measure your product and make metrics-driven or data-driven decisions. These questions can come in several formats: behavioral, hypothetical and case style questions.

Regardless of question/prompt format, the goal (or test) for the interviewer is to predict how you will think about the day-to-day of managing and launching products. These questions are more common, and more important, in cultures that are heavily focused on execution.

  • Successfully moving business metrics by optimizing for product metrics.

  • Running experiments, driving decisions.

  • Choosing KPI's and rallying others around them.

  • Coming up with a new product idea or strategy after analyzing current product usage.

  • Collaborating with engineers to collect product metrics.

  • Are you comfortable with metrics and have you managed products in a data-driven way?
