Asked me about product metrics. They insist they are just looking for your "thought process", but the interviewers are inexperienced and thus looking at a check box on the side. My interviewer kept prodding me to cover a very specific metric and didn't care at all about the framework I outlined. The specific metric they finally disclosed would have given a very biased outcome - something they would have known if they had any experience at all. 2 yrs working in 1 company and a PhD that doesn't cover any true business scenarios doesn't qualify you to interview an industry veteran.
