This one threw me a bit because I hadn't prepped GetAround specifically.
First, clarify that you'll answer as if interviewing for a Product Manager role at DoorDash, then analyze GetAround's business model and competitive landscape to identify 2-3 critical problems. For each problem, propose a prioritized, testable solution that aligns with DoorDash's strengths and the PM role's focus on user needs and business impact.
Pro tip: Show you understand that GetAround's core challenge is balancing supply (car owners) and demand (renters) while managing trust and operations—then tie your solutions to metrics like utilization, CAC, and LTV to demonstrate business acumen.
Acknowledge that you're answering from a Product Manager perspective at DoorDash, and briefly state your understanding of GetAround's business model (peer-to-peer car sharing) and key metrics.
Select 2-3 major problems based on GetAround's current challenges, such as supply-demand imbalance, trust and safety issues, operational inefficiencies, or competitive pressure from Turo and traditional rental companies.
Choose the most critical problem to focus on, justifying your choice with data or logical reasoning (e.g., impact on growth, revenue, or user experience).
Outline a specific, actionable solution that addresses the root cause, leveraging DoorDash's capabilities (e.g., logistics, trust systems, or marketplace dynamics) and considering trade-offs.
Explain how you would measure the solution's success (e.g., increased utilization, reduced cancellations, higher NPS) and how you'd iterate based on results.
