Question’s Purpose
They want to know what’s your favorite way to work. Are you a quiet PM type, cracking away at some Redash dashboard in a corner? Or are you out talking to customers, designers, and devs in order to gain insights and drive the business?
How to Answer
Tell them you like to work collaboratively. That’s the only answer they want to hear. Whatever type of PM job it is, your answer should tell a story about how you like to work collaboratively with customers, designers, other PMs, developers, and so on. Nobody wants a PM that likes to work by themselves — that’s the antithesis of the job’s purpose. Tell a story about an important collaboration you had with a dev, designer, other product manager, data scientist, or a customer, and then tell them that’s how you like to work.
