I went with Google Maps because I use it constantly and figured I'd have a lot to say.
Choose a website you know deeply, ideally one with a clear product purpose and user base. Frame your improvement around a specific user problem and tie it to business impact, showing structured product thinking. Use a lightweight framework to diagnose, prioritize, and propose a solution.
Pro tip: Pick a website that is adjacent to Waymo's domain (e.g., a mapping, ride-hailing, or autonomous vehicle service) to demonstrate domain relevance and strategic thinking. Avoid trivial UI tweaks; focus on meaningful user or business outcomes.
Choose a website you use regularly and briefly state its core purpose and target users. Explain why you chose it (e.g., frequent use, clear pain point).
Describe a specific user pain point or unmet need you've observed. Support it with personal experience or data if possible.
Outline a concrete improvement that addresses the problem. Keep it focused and feasible, and explain how it works.
Explain why this improvement is worth doing now, using criteria like user impact, business value, and effort. Mention trade-offs.
Define metrics to evaluate the improvement (e.g., engagement, conversion, retention) and how you would iterate.
