i have a loop coming up for a senior PM role on their consumer digital team (the My Verizon app stuff). would love to hear from anyone who has done a Verizon PM loop recently, or honestly any role.
specifically curious about: how much do they lean on product sense vs. behavioral? did you get an estimation question? how polished did you need to be on the telco / 5G stuff, or is it more general PM fundamentals?
also, did anyone interview for the consumer digital side specifically? their tech org is massive and i feel like the experience probably varies a lot between consumer apps and the enterprise / network side.
drop whatever you have, even partial loops are useful.

did a consumer digital PM loop about six months ago. product sense was real, they gave me a feature prioritization exercise during the case round. estimation was light, one quick napkin-math question about Verizon app DAU. you do not need deep telco knowledge but knowing the difference between their consumer lines (postpaid, prepaid, home internet) is useful context.

the feature prioritization exercise is good to know about. was it a case they gave you in the meeting or did you get it ahead of time?

given live in the room. you have the interview time to work through it and present back. pretty standard case structure, no homework.

not PM but i did a product marketing loop at Verizon a while back. the behavioral rounds were very focused on stakeholder alignment and getting buy-in. felt very true to the actual culture there. cross-functional influence comes up constantly.

worth noting: Verizon has been reorganizing their digital org a bit over the last year. the team you are interviewing with may look different by the time you start. ask in the final round who the key cross-functional partners are and whether the team structure is stable.
