## 1. Your Eng Lead and UX lead disagree on the approach for your P0 quarterly item - how would you approach the situation? As a product manager, it's important to facilitate productive discussions between different teams and stakeholders. In this situation, I would first gather all the relevant information from both the Eng Lead and UX lead to understand their perspectives and the reasoning behind their proposed approaches. Then, I would schedule a meeting with both of them to discuss the issue and try to find common ground. I would encourage open communication, active listening, and brainstorming potential solutions. If necessary, I would involve other stakeholders, such as designers or data analysts, to provide additional insights and help come to a decision. Ultimately, the decision should be based on what is best for the user and the business, and I would make sure to clearly communicate the final decision to both leads and ensure that they are aligned moving forward. ## 2. How do you think about the product role - is it your role to be the tie breaker? While the product manager is responsible for making decisions about the product, it's important to remember that they are not the only stakeholder involved. As a product manager, my role is to facilitate discussions and make informed decisions based on user needs, business goals, and the input of various stakeholders, including developers, designers, marketers, and executives. In situations where there is disagreement among stakeholders, it's important to listen to all perspectives and try to find a solution that meets the needs of all parties involved. However, there may be situations where a tie breaker is necessary, and in those cases, I would make a decision based on what is best for the product and the business. ## 3. What do you think Google should do with regards to commitment to diversity? As a leading technology company, Google has a responsibility to promote diversity and inclusion both within the company and in the broader tech industry. In order to fulfill this commitment, I believe Google should take a multi-faceted approach that includes: - Ensuring diverse representation at all levels of the company, from entry-level positions to executive leadership - Providing equal opportunities for career growth and development for all employees, regardless of background or identity - Creating a safe and inclusive workplace culture that values diversity and encourages open communication - Working to increase diversity in the tech industry as a whole through partnerships with organizations that promote underrepresented groups in technology By taking these steps, Google can help lead the way in promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry and create a more equitable and inclusive workplace for all employees.
