Tencent product interview experience

Tencent’s written test ended with someone receiving the personality test in the afternoon. My heart was broken and I couldn’t pass the test no matter what. I answered the questions quite well at that time. The results come out so quickly, so it must be a systematic marking, with only multiple-choice questions. In the evening, I also joined a group called "We will definitely not fail". In this group, there are many people with BAT internship experience, and they are all juniors.

Everyone jointly sent an email to Tencent HR. In addition to everyone’s personal information, resume numbers, and several outstanding resumes selected by everyone. HR quickly gave me feedback. Just because I didn’t receive the personality test doesn’t mean I didn’t get the opportunity for an interview. It is not specified whether the interview opportunity refers to a normal interview opportunity or a dominating interview. Later it turned out that this was of no use. That group has also become an "offer harvester".

At 23:11 on April 12, I finally received the text message for the product interview on the 14th. Most people received the interview text message in the morning of that day. I was already prepared early the next morning. I went to Ba Mian and was really surprised and happy to receive this text message from the laboratory at night.

Arrived as promised. I arrived at the interview location before nine o'clock in the morning, and I had an interview at ten o'clock.

The first round of interviews is a group interview. Each group has about 7-10 people, and our group has 8 people. Before entering the interviewer's room, we got to know each other and "break the ice in advance". We agreed not to break up. We worked together and gave everyone a chance to speak. We tried to keep our self-introductions as short as possible and controlled them to about 30 seconds. The waiting time is about 20 minutes. At this time, I will tell you about the two group interview questions I saw the night before. One is "Add a function to the little coffee show to make it continue to be popular." The other is "Optimize Didi Taxi in 4 aspects."

(1. How to find new functional points? 2. How to retain the large number of users accumulated in the subsidy war? 3. How to solve the problem in the face of government supervision? 4. How to make a profit?) Let’s make a little novel own thoughts. Create a good atmosphere for everyone to meet together.

Our group consists of two boys and six girls. Before the interview, I knew that there were three graduate students among us, one from Jiaotong University and one from Xidian University, both from 985 and 211. For me, the school does not have an advantage, it is an ordinary university that is not 985 or 211.

A girl (Little B) proposed that she wanted to be a time keeper and asked if we had any roles we wanted to be. At this time, someone suggested that I be a leader. The leader had not seen the group interview question. , cannot be decided. And most leaders are formed virtually through discussions. The girl next to me suggested that I should be the summary, and I said yes. Maybe it’s because I just talked about the two topics and everyone thought my thinking was clear.

This time it is not the usual "round table meeting", but a small sofa, and there is no particularly tense atmosphere. The interviewer sent us a group interview question, and we were told that the interview would last for ***50 minutes.

Our question was "How to use the Internet to design a product for the Mogao Grottoes"? After a brief self-introduction,

Little A broke the ice and asked us what problems we encountered during the trip?

Each of them spoke, and there were four main problems (demands): transportation, wifi, tour guide chaos, and queuing

I put forward the requirements from both the user and business parts. Discuss and everyone agrees.

Little B told us that we currently have 45 minutes, considering the three parts of users, business and user reputation (promotion), 5 minutes for summary, and 40 minutes for discussion.

Starting from the user, combined with the card swiping we just did (solve the queuing problem in scenic spots), tour guide (intelligent electronic tour guide and manual tour guide reservation service), travel (combined with Tencent Map to plan the optimal travel route) (me), Community (focus on content, allowing users to actively share their itineraries and what they see and hear during travel)

Basically everyone has an effective voice

Business model: advertising (traffic monetization), online Book a tour guide (shared by the platform), one-stop service (tickets, hotels, food - shared by the platform), reward (community)

Promotion: Tencent’s powerful platform, diversion, local promotion of scenic spots, TV advertising, topic hype, travel live broadcast community, feelings (let users take the initiative to promote)

The discussion is over

Let me summarize. When summarizing, you must remember to be clear and comprehensive. , grasp the key points. I summarized it according to the direction of the discussion. We discussed it from three parts: users and business and user reputation (promotion), balabalabala....and then elaborated.

The interviewer sister said that your discussion was so fast (it took about 30 minutes). Then she asked three people, Little A (leader), Little B ( time keeper), and Little C (a kid who makes technical products) asked Little A whether the questions asked during the tour would be too big at the beginning. Little A’s answer actually made the question more concrete. . Little B asked about how to attract new users. It was obvious that Little B was nervous. She made a few points and was asked back by the interviewer. At this time, a graduate student sister helped her out. Throughout the discussion, Little C kept mentioning national policies, the Silk Road and other big issues. The HR sister asked him how to implement and make it concrete. Little C still failed to put the topic into practice. The interviewer kept reminding him to "put it into practice, put it into practice". , landing." Everyone finally helped him answer a few points.

After the group interview, everyone created a WeChat group. A text message popped up on the phone at 19:30 in the evening, inviting me to participate in the interview at 16:00 on the 15th. I passed the group interview, as expected. Because everyone cooperated very well throughout the interview process. Open WeChat and reply to the message. Our group is 8 into 3, a graduate student sister, Xiao A and me.

I didn’t pass the time keeper. As far as this role is concerned, I did a good job in reminding on time at critical moments, advancing the progress of discussions, and allocating tasks. The reason for not passing may be the question at the end. 8 into 3 is a good result. Some groups all kneel down, and some groups have 10 into 1.

Advantages of this group meeting: 1. The team atmosphere is very good, communicate in advance, and save ice-breaking time. 2. There is no waste of time in self-introduction. 3. Everyone has an effective speech and clear ideas. 4. It takes a short time to reach the final conclusion.

Disadvantages: 1. The product has no particularly bright highlights. 2. The summary of how to introduce new users is not good (the interviewer finally asked the time keeper).

Still arrived at the interview point in advance on the 15th. It was windy and rainy on the way. The interviewer was the sister from the group interview.

I looked at your resume and asked you to tell me about the best project you have ever done. I just chose the one I paid the most for, but the result was not that good. From team formation, to product design to development schedule, as well as how to solve problems encountered during development. The interviewer opened the webpage of our product and said that the user experience was not good. I said yes. This has to be admitted. Only later did I realize that you must tell others about the most successful projects even if your participation is not complete. Again, clear thinking, clear thinking, clear thinking.

She was an SNG interviewer and asked some questions about QQ music. Based on my knowledge of Kuwo, Kugou, NetEase Cloud Music, Xiami and QQ Music under the Ocean Group, I discussed the copyright, interface and Let’s talk about user experience, recommendation algorithm, and other different dimensions. In fact, I thought she was the MIG interviewer because I applied for the MIG department and prepared questions related to the QQ browser. Later I found out that I had been transferred.

"Go back and wait for the results to be notified first."

I know the outcome of this interview. I have known it since the end of my introduction to the project. But there is also a lot to gain. I couldn't get into the meeting with the director, and I couldn't move forward.

Other interviewees were also asked: 1 "Design an ATM machine for blind users" 2 "Design a product for girls based on the Yi Hotel incident".

Waiting for Ba Mian downstairs, until after six o'clock in the afternoon, an interviewer sister told everyone to stop waiting and go back. A certain product only recruits one person in Xi'an. It was a "physically and mentally exhausting" two days. For the interview, I took a Didi taxi to the hotel for two days, a 40-minute drive. The drivers I encountered were not very good at driving. I had not experienced motion sickness for several years and I felt dizzy when I arrived at the destination. The next day The driver during the interview did not take us to the destination and said that the navigation system had already reached the destination, which was very unfriendly. It was raining heavily that day, so I got off the car with another girl and walked to our destination.

At the end of the interview, I learned a lot. There are really many powerful people, especially those who work harder than you. Are you afraid of it? "Product manager" is a soft power position. You cannot make excellent products by reading a few books in a day or two. Product sense Only long-term accumulation makes progress possible. Keep up the good work, baby!

At present, there are only two offline interviews, Tencent and 360. 360 is still waiting for the final results. I passed the written test on Jingdong, and it showed that the interviewer was arranging the preliminary test about half a month ago. . . It seems that I can't wait any longer.
