This was a pretty long interview process, took about a month. First, there was an HR Screen for 45 minutes, then an interview with the Manager that lasted an hour. After that, I had two interviews with Senior employees, each for 30 minutes. Finally, there was a panel interview with two people. I found out I didn't get the role through an automated HR message.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online through LinkedIn, and a recruiter reached out a couple of weeks later. We had a brief phone screen to check my fit, and then she quickly scheduled an in-person interview at their San Francisco office. I met with five Product Managers there for what felt like a pretty standard PM interview. After that, they set up an interview with the engineering team in India to assess my technical skills. About a week after the engineering interview, I got a verbal offer.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

A recruiter reached out about a Senior Product Manager opening and set up an initial chat with the hiring manager, who is a Director of Product. A few days later, I heard back and they wanted me to come in for an on-site interview. I met with five product leaders, who were VPs and Directors. Overall, it was a really good experience.
