3. Tell me how do I make my company name show up when I search it on Google?
a search in Google of: Site:www.globalguideline.com shows that your website is "indexed" or Google has crawled your site and added it to it's list. This is good. In order to give you an exact reason why your site isn't showing up I would need to run an audit and take a look.
4. Tell me what are the best SEO software tools for startups?
For understanding SEO you will need the following tools:
A hrefs - it's an amazing tool to find the right keywords, and backlink profile. Find incorrect or spammy links and remove them using this tool. Ahrefs is expensive, so I'll suggest a way to get it for a cheaper price, below.
5. Tell us what team would you like to be a part of and why?
I had this one thought out already - Groups. Apart from the obvious reasons that there is a visible effort and focus that Facebook has placed on this area recently, it is something that goes back to their roots of community based social networking.
6. Tell us how do you decide who works on what?
I like to think that we're very thoughtful about who joins what team. It's not an exact science, but there are some clear facets.
Our group of Facebook products-and Facebook itself-span a lot of territory from consumer products to business tools, from complex systems to independent experiences. We have products and projects that rely heavily on strategy and product thinking, and we also have those that have bigger needs in interaction and visual design. The recruiting and interview process helps determine what products might be a good match for each new designer. At times we'll hire people who are strong in a very specific area because we already have an open role in mind for them.
7. Tell me how would you design a to do list?
Product design questions test the applicant's ability to think on their feet and create a full product or feature. New product design questions can be very high level (“design a lamp”). Start with identifying the goal of the product–if the interviewer won't tell you, state your assumptions so that you have something to build on. Decide which metric or business driver you will impact most. From there, identify the possible users for the new product or feature. Select the one that seems most relevant.
You won't have time to cover everything in the answer. Once the user is selected, move on to use cases, goals, and scenarios for that user. The use cases should naturally result in a set of features for your new product. Prioritize these and close by linking back to the goal of the product, the business strategy, and the user needs you are meeting. Show you aren't afraid to color outside the box by including a range of features in the product or tackle a novel problem. Present a range of ideas ranging from mundane to outlandish and demonstrate that you can generate a broad range of ideas and decide among them quickly.
8. Tell us what's one thing you love and one thing you hate?
What I love most is that I've been able to get an enormous range of experience at one job, and that I have been in direct control of that path.
I've worked on three teams over my three years at the company: Payments - specifically Payments in Messenger - and simultaneously designed the first launch of Safety Check. I worked on Privacy for nearly a year, and I started on Facebook's K12 Initiative at the beginning of this year. These teams have all had products and features focused around my areas of interest: complex problems faced by people using Facebook, often dealing with a common thread of trust.
9. Tell me how would facebook enter the mobile handset market?
This is a common variation of the strategy question. Case study questions can be tricky. To prepare, research the market that your target company is in, as well as adjacent markets and competitors. Review recent tech business stories and analysis to understand current business strategies in play and what issues tech leaders are grappling with. If you are caught off-guard, you will at least have some analogs you can draw upon.
Like the product design questions, start your answer with stating your assumptions about the current business strategy and goals of the company in question. Common case study questions involve new market entry–Michael Porter's Five Forces framework can be a good starting point. Discuss how the new market or segment fits with the company's core business and complementary business opportunities. Understanding the company's underlying value proposition can help put a seemingly unrelated business opportunity into context.

25. Explain me how would you improve our product?
This common product management interview question is meant to test your ability to propose impactful changes to an existing product. Weak answers will either be one obvious improvement or a rambling set of changes which do not move any metrics. A strong answer starts with identifying the goals of the product and the target customers. A key metric or metrics should be identified by which to measure the improvement.
From there, a set of use cases can be identified which will lead to a set of alternatives for product improvements. An important skill to demonstrate when answering this question is the ability to prioritize. From the set of possible personas, use cases, and improvements, select the ones that most closely meet the goals and metrics identified at the outset. Presenting several alternatives at each level is a great opportunity to show creativity and your ability to think outside the box. In some cases, linking to product strategy will be critical to providing an on target answer. Answering this question without building the links between strategy, business metrics, and user needs will result in a random response that will likely miss the mark.
