Behavioral Case Presentation

We started with a quick chat with HR, then I had a couple of calls with some senior product people where we talked about product strategy and how I solve problems. There were also some case studies and chats with people from different teams to see how I work with others, communicate, and if I'm customer-focused.

Behavioral Technical

The recruiting part was okay, the recruiter was nice and kept me updated. But the team interview was rough. The interviewer was really cold and gave super short answers. All the questions felt like traps trying to catch me out, and they kept interrupting me to pick apart small details. Too much ego, like they thought they were at Google or something. It was a big turn-off.

Started with easy recruiter questions. Then met the hiring manager. After that, I had a loop with 4 other people. It was mostly case study and product strategy, with some product execution questions.

They called it a Product exercise. Let's say you were tasked with building a [Blank] App. Can you walk me through how you'd approach it, what problem it solves, what assumptions you'd make, what risks you see, and what the user workflow would look like, etc.?
