Splunk·Product Manager·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jul 2026
Splunk PM interview with a pricing and go-to-market case built around a company I'd actually interned at, which made it feel weirdly personal. One question, lots of ground to cover.
  • Splunk is looking to sell a new service to a mid-size tech company you previously interned at. How would you price it? Walk through customer segmentation, value-based versus cost-plus pricing, the competitive landscape, packaging tiers, and any experiments you'd run.

“The intern angle was a nice touch because I actually had context on the buyer, but it also made me second-guess myself the whole time.”

Jul 2026
PM interview at Splunk with a product sense question that required picking a consumer app and designing two features end to end. Pretty demanding scope for a single question, covering personas, journeys, tech feasibility, and metrics all at once.
  • Pick a consumer app you admire. Propose two new features that improve it. For each, walk through the target persona, user journey, technical feasibility including backend services and data flows, and how you'd measure success.

“I went with a music streaming app and immediately regretted how crowded that space is for these questions.”

PM interview at Splunk with a product design question about building a marketplace for antiques. Pretty open-ended, which I wasn't fully prepared for.
  • Design an app for buying and selling antiques.

“I went straight into user personas and forgot to ask any clarifying questions first, which I regret.”
