Summary

Uber PM interview with a product design question focused on large event experiences. Pretty open-ended, which I wasn't fully prepared for.

Questions Asked (1)

Q1

How would you redesign the experience of attending a large event? Walk through your implementation plan, testing approach, and what the user-facing experience would look like.

I jumped straight into features and the interviewer had to pull me back to ask who exactly I was designing for.

Suggested Approach

Start by clarifying the event type and user segments, then define the core problem and success metrics. Propose a redesigned end-to-end experience leveraging Uber's strengths, outline an implementation plan with phased rollout, and describe a rigorous A/B testing approach to validate improvements.

Pro tip: Anchor your redesign in Uber's existing assets—like real-time logistics, payments, and user base—to show strategic fit. Quantify expected impact on key metrics (e.g., wait time, satisfaction) to demonstrate business acumen.

1. Clarify and Scope

Ask clarifying questions to define the event type, scale, and user personas. Identify pain points in the current experience and set clear goals (e.g., reduce wait times, increase satisfaction).

2. Ideate and Prioritize

Brainstorm potential solutions across the attendee journey (pre-event, arrival, during, departure). Prioritize ideas based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Uber's capabilities.

3. Design the Experience

Detail the user-facing experience for the prioritized solutions, including key touchpoints, interactions, and how Uber's services integrate (e.g., ride scheduling, in-app navigation, payments).

4. Implementation Plan

Outline a phased rollout plan: MVP, pilot at a small event, then scale. Specify cross-functional dependencies (engineering, operations, partnerships) and required resources.

5. Testing and Iteration

Define success metrics and design A/B tests or experiments to validate each feature. Describe how you would measure impact, gather feedback, and iterate.

Key Points to Mention

  • User segmentation (attendees, organizers, drivers) and their distinct needs
  • Leveraging Uber's real-time logistics and payment infrastructure for seamless experience
  • Phased implementation with pilot testing at a smaller event to reduce risk
  • A/B testing framework with clear control and treatment groups, and primary/secondary metrics
  • Potential partnerships with event organizers for exclusive perks or integrated services
  • Scalability considerations and network effects for broader adoption
