The three Rockwell Automation Product Manager reports we have share a theme: the questions leaned toward behavioral judgment and stakeholder handling rather than technical product depth. All three candidates were not offered the role, so these accounts show what to prepare for, not what gets an offer.
One candidate had a phone screen with HR, then an on-site panel of about six people: HR, functional managers, hiring managers and peers. They were asked to present something about themselves. They were also asked how to resolve a conflict where customer senior management wanted faster timelines while the technical team wanted thorough step-by-step testing, and how they would voice disagreement with a line manager and whether they would proceed if overruled. That candidate put the phone screen to on-site at about four weeks.
Another candidate described four rounds: a hiring manager, Scrum Masters, a project manager with a product owner, and other product owners. Questions focused on agile methods, understanding of the role and leadership approach, and the candidate noted almost no technical depth. After the rounds, that candidate waited more than a month on medical and background checks and then on budget approval.
A third candidate said the hiring manager spent most of the time on workplace communication, including an opinion on toxic positivity, and that product skills barely came up. HR scheduling slots were canceled twice and the HR representative missed a third. Confirm interview times directly with the recruiter or hiring manager. Prepare agile examples, a stakeholder-conflict story and a calm answer on disagreeing with leadership.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
One candidate reports an opening phone screen with an HR representative covering background and motivation, and found the pace a bit hard to keep up with. Another candidate had HR-scheduled slots canceled repeatedly, so confirming your slot directly with the recruiter or hiring manager may help.
Candidates report a hiring manager conversation that was friendly and conversational. One discussed company vision and background; another says it centered on workplace communication and behavioral questions, including toxic positivity, with little technical product discussion.
One candidate faced an on-site panel of about six people and was asked to present about themselves, then answer stakeholder-conflict and disagreement questions. Another reports separate rounds with Scrum Masters, a project manager, a product owner and other product owners, mostly on agile topics and leadership approach.
Candidates report slow or absent follow-up. One cleared the interviews but waited over a month for medical and background checks, then repeated budget-approval delays. Another heard nothing after interviewing. Applicants may want to follow up in writing and keep other options active.
