Interview Manual of social recruitment Tencent high P (Senior Product Manager)

Recently, a friend wrote me a private letter at the backstage of the official account ：“Kevin Because I missed the school move , How can I prepare for my future work to get the opportunity to be a product manager of Tencent through social recruitment ？”

In fact, I have had many social recruitment interviews with Tencent product managers , Yes 1-2 Year of , Also have 5 About years high P, Because it fits the position 、 I stopped the follow-up process for my own personal reasons .

In retrospect, I think Tencent is high P interview , It can be said that it is the most valuable standard in the industry to comprehensively evaluate the skills of product managers （ To identify a good product manager ）.

Today's talk is high P, It refers to the senior product manager of Tencent , The rank of the position is （P9 above , On the ali P7 above ） I would like to share some experience and cases of Tencent Senior Product Manager .

Tencent's high P Salary can refer to the following table （ For reference only ）

Tencent's high P（P10 above ） I estimate that the proportion of the whole staff is 30% about , If you want to become a high school student, you should recruit from the campus P, Some people spend 10 The year has not been a success , Some people spend at least 5 year , So even within Tencent , high P It is also the existence of scarcity .

1. high P The interview process of social recruitment is long 、 Long time

Tencent's social recruitment interview process can include 2 Months or more . Later, you can see on the Internet that many friends have suddenly received Tencent after they have joined the company offer The situation of , So I suggest that the students who plan to enroll in the society should not resign naked and post to Tencent , because 1 To 2 Months of free time will inevitably reduce your job sensitivity and competitiveness .

Especially high P The product manager of , There will be a separate channel during the interview （ Interview Committee ） It is also an interview for technical experts , The cumulative interview process can reach 6 Even 8 A link , If you add the beginning HR link , The whole interview can reach 9 round .

For example, once I experienced too much P The social recruitment process is ：

HR Telephone consultation - Business leader interview - Interview with the team leader - Director interview - Interview channel - Director interview -HR interview , This process is ideal .

Sometimes candidates have a spare tire , Need to add director cross interview , In the interview of the business department director, the director of the next group will evaluate .

In business interviews progress the fastest , After that, it will be a week or even 2 Interview once a week , So the span of time is very long .

2. high P The interview questions focus on the product points 、 Line 、 Noodles 、 The ball

Tencent Gao... Should be recruited through the society P Resume selection , The prerequisite I learned is that the candidate's current business is extremely relevant to the business of Tencent's employing department .

That is, what Tencent will do next , It is necessary to find students who are similar or identical . So under this condition , Passed HR After screening, we will start the interview process

spot ： How to do the function

I still vaguely remember , Tencent high P At the beginning of the interview, the job interview mainly focuses on the business of resume for detailed introduction , That is, how to perform specific functions , What is the specific business background , Even business processes , At the same time, the discriminant index of emergence stage .

This round of interview should be the product manager's favorite interview content , After all, it is the concrete description and plural number of one's own work , At most, add a small amount of industry thinking .

Line ： What to do in the future

As the number of interview rounds of the business department deepens , Later, we will focus more on the future development plan of products and businesses , And product planning . To put it bluntly, we need to talk about how we plan to do product iteration and commercialization closed loop in the future , Data indicators for future discrimination .

In fact, this link will be more difficult , The difficulty lies in the fact that the current work of the content product manager is not involved , It is more necessary to combine their own work experience and resume to express their future business development and evaluation standards .

Noodles ： Resource integration 、 Judge how to do better

After learning about the specific functions 、 How to do business , Next, we will focus on the division of labor 、 Use of existing resources 、 And the possible node stage of future commercialization , The vertical development of the product has changed to the horizontal development T Type development plan

This part of the interview is difficult , The specific test is the product manager's product planning ability 、 Division of team resources 、 And the track with the industry background of the whole product , The product manager needs to be able to consider comprehensively , At the same time, they have a certain understanding of the commercialization of products in the market .

The ball ： Product architecture and product positioning

Go to the next interview , The focus is almost irrelevant to the business , Focus on the product architecture design ability of the product manager , such as ：“ For different users of the product , Conduct XX Product architecture design ”, Simply state the design method or architecture .

At the same time, for the product architecture , Give the industry category positioning of the current product architecture , For example, how do we judge SaaS and PaaS、 The difference between the product design of private domain traffic and public domain traffic .

This link is the most difficult , The test is the general knowledge part of the product manager , As well as the accumulated experience of the past experience .

3. high P Hard conditions for product managers

For the high of Tencent's big factories P Product manager position , First of all, I can select my resume to participate in social recruitment , I think we are already the elite of product managers , Be able to go to the social recruitment interview P, It means that you have at least reached 3 A hard condition

01 Graduation time 5-10 year

The higher P The product manager of , The longer the mandatory graduation time is required , At the same time, the experience of the product manager shall not be less than 5 year .

02 An extremely relevant business or product

The more we recruit in Tencent's big factory , It requires that the products you go in and make should be very similar to the products you are making now , Or it is a direct competitive product , Or it can indirectly refer to cross-border competitive products .

So if the product of your company is just what Tencent intends to do , So congratulations , You will have more chances to pass the interview .

03 Have a basic resume of a large factory

In addition to the above 2 Out of point , It is also hoped that the candidate also has experience in other large factories or similar enterprises . This is relatively strict , So I want to enter Tencent for social recruitment to make it higher P, It is recommended to go to the first tier cities or second tier cities in advance , Will have the opportunity to enter the big factory , In order to save the country .

4. high P The entry rate of product managers is not so high

Many people think they have got Tencent high P Of offer Must be very happy , After all, the annual salary is millions , As long as the interview passes , You don't even have to think about it .

But in fact, compared with campus recruitment or just graduated 2-3 About years of social recruitment , I don't think the induction rate of senior product managers is so high , The main reasons are 2 spot

01 Don't think of comfort circles

5-10 The product manager life circle in has been finalized , Many people may already have their own families , Have also settled in a certain city , I want to give up what I have now and go to the big factory , Just because of a job , Or the cost is too high .

For example, I know a lot of tall P Our product manager candidates are not necessarily in Shenzhen or Beijing , It may be in Chengdu 、 Cities like Hangzhou , Escaping from the comfort zone is just for money. Not everyone wants to go .

02 Now the uncertainty of big factories

“ Although money is important , But the body is the capital of revolution ”, At this stage, the product manager gave up going to Tencent because he was too weak .

Going to the big factory means physical struggle . It is different from the students who join Tencent on campus every year ,5-10 My classmates in are always 30+, Compared with those in the same department 20 Many young people , There will inevitably be disadvantages .

Of course, the working atmosphere will be more flat and younger , But I just can't beat the overtime hours and physical strength , Afraid of being cut off due to low performance due to the uncertainty of the current environment .

The above is my past experience , I hope you're going to go to a big factory to do high work in the future P Our product manager is helpful .
