Preparing for interview
Perfect PM Interview Practice — Ryan Hill, Founder of APMList
In Product Design or favourite Product question, it is also a good idea to prepare 1/2 products that are not well-known. If you're allowed to pick a product to discuss, it's a good idea to go for one of those - the interviewer has less information about it and it's easier for them to assess your approach as novel. Also, for well-know products, the interviewer has probably head the same ideas from dozens of candidates before, so it's hard for you to stand out.

These are to be prepared for with a framework that shows your priority while using/planning and executing product.
These are also questions to showcase any unique app you have used or some across and a defining feature which makes you a diligent user.
These also showcase your personality to an extent as the interviewer is looking to grill you in case you mention something wrong with an app he/she likes a lot.
Don’t come across rigid to recruiters, they don’t need a reason to hire u but only to reject! - Shruti Sharma
