Updated 11/23/2025
This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
Senior TPM interviews at FAANG companies typically span 4-6 weeks and consist of 5-6 interview rounds designed to assess project management expertise, technical acumen, leadership capability, and cross-functional collaboration skills. The process progresses from initial screening through progressively complex case studies, technical architecture discussions, leadership principle evaluation, and finally executive-level cultural fit assessment. Interviewers evaluate not just what candidates have done, but how they think about complex problems, influence others, manage dependencies, and drive results at scale.
