The Equinix Product Manager interview reported here is built around fit first and a concrete work sample last. The candidate describes three rounds, held one per week. The first was with the hiring manager and the second was with managers from other teams. Both were mostly about motivation and how past experience transfers into product management at Equinix. The candidate found them relaxed and not overly technical.
The final round was the most concrete. The candidate shared a case study analysis with team members. They found it useful on both sides: the team saw how they think through product problems, and the candidate learned what the team wanted from the role.
The only question the candidate remembers was whether they were proficient in a certain area. It was broad and seemed aimed at checking baseline skills. If you are applying, prepare a clear answer on why you want this role and why Equinix. Map your background to product work, especially if you come from another function. Build a concise case study presentation that shows structured thinking and practical judgment. This is a single candidate's account, so treat the format as a likely shape rather than a fixed process. The candidate described the process as well paced, with no scheduling surprises, and went on to accept the offer.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
The candidate reports a first-round conversation with the hiring manager. It focused on motivation for the role and how past experience could transfer into product management at Equinix. The candidate described the tone as fairly relaxed and more about fit and background than technical depth.
The second round, reported one week after the first, was with managers from other teams. The candidate says it again centered on motivation and transferable experience, with the tone more like a fit and background discussion than a technical test.
In the final round the candidate shared a case study analysis with team members. The candidate says this was the most concrete part of the process and showed how they approach product problems. It also helped them understand what the team wanted. Candidates may want a concise, well-structured presentation prepared in advance.
