& Process

The interviews went by fast, but the offer part was super unprofessional. After two weeks of interviews, they took three weeks to give me an offer. The recruiter kept trying to change the job title and pay we had agreed on during the screening, even though the whole package was pretty much the same as my current job. With the confusing info on bonuses and no clear details on stock options, it was just like all the bad reviews I saw. It felt like they were just trying to stall and find other people. I decided not to deal with such a sketchy process anymore.

So the interview process had three technical interviews basically, each one a bit harder than the last. They really dug into the project details and how it impacted the business, then had us do some live coding to check our technical skills, and finally some system design stuff to see how we think about architecture and solving problems. It was pretty structured but also felt like a conversation, which was nice and made it a good experience overall.

Applied 3 times for similar roles and it's been a total waste of time. Each time I reach stage 2 or 3, they say they're 'favoring a better fit' without giving any useful feedback. The last interview was particularly odd, with two interviewers who weren't very funny or likable. The Bulgarian team lead seemed uncomfortable, like they were being forced to be there. The recruiter also falsely claimed there were no layoffs in compliance, when in fact, there have been some cuts in that department for budget reasons. It's important to be truthful, especially when interviewing people who work in investigations and deal with other investigators.

I got referred by an external recruiter and applied for the senior product manager role. The next day, I had a brief 15-minute HR screening call. They told me there would be three rounds: first with a senior PM, then the head of product, and finally a stakeholder interview with engineering. The first interview with the senior PM happened the very next day. It went well, and the interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my background and assessing my product intuition. The second interview was supposed to be the following Monday, but the recruiter messaged me that morning to reschedule it for two days later. Unfortunately, the interview with the head of product didn't go great; I felt the interviewer was unfocused and not really engaged with my answers, which made me more anxious. A few hours after that interview, I got an email from HR saying I passed and would move on to the next stage, which was a surprise: a written case study due the next Monday. I was taken aback because this hadn't been mentioned before. When I looked at the case study, the instructions seemed rushed, with inconsistent pronouns, suggesting a quick copy-paste. Given the unexpected case study and my less-than-ideal second interview experience, I decided to withdraw my application the following day. After I sent my withdrawal email, the external recruiter texted me. He said the company informed him that if the second interview was the issue, they could arrange for me to report directly to the first interviewer and meet other team members to get a better feel for the company culture. This message confused me, but I stuck to my decision.
