Non-technical

The human side of interviews — behavioral frameworks, business judgment, and communication skills that decide close calls.

Behavioral

Overview

Behavioral covers how you tell stories about past experience to predict future performance — using the STAR structure to show impact, handling conflict maturely, owning failures with growth, and demonstrating leadership. Specific, evidence-based stories are what land here.

Business & strategy

Overview

Business & strategy covers structured problem-solving under ambiguity — cracking business cases, showing product sense grounded in users and tradeoffs, and estimating unknowns from first principles. Interviewers watch your reasoning and structure more than any single answer.

Communication

Overview

Communication covers how you present yourself and your ideas — a crisp personal pitch, thoughtful questions that signal genuine interest, and handling compensation conversations with confidence. Clear, tailored communication shapes the impression you leave across the whole process.
