Behavioral Other
I had a recruiter chat first, then a hiring manager interview. After that, there was a written exercise which was a product-specific use case. Then a 3-person panel interview with a peer, designer, and engineer. They focused on company values, with specific questions tied to assigned values for each person, and also how I work with their discipline. The interview wrapped up with another chat with the hiring manager. All interviews were behavioral except for the written part.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard for a Principal Product Manager role. It wasn't overly difficult or long, but it was definitely thorough. I had conversations with various people across the company, which gave me a good sense of the culture and a chance to ask my own questions. I also had the opportunity to talk with some leaders, and those conversations were great. Overall, I felt it was a well-executed interview process.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Group
Applied online and heard back from the recruiter within days for a phone screen. The recruiter mentioned the company is growing fast and hiring a lot, but their processes aren't fully developed yet. She outlined the interview steps: recruiter call, an online intelligence/personality test, a presentation, and finally a panel interview focused on culture and behavior. Right after the test, she scheduled the presentation to the CPO and Chief of Staff, giving me 48 hours to prep based on a prompt. The prep was okay, but the presentation itself was a bit awkward; after brief introductions, I just started. They didn't ask about my background or experience. The CPO was engaged and asked follow-ups, but the COS seemed distracted. Despite that, it felt like it went well. The recruiter gave positive feedback within hours, saying the presentation was great and interviewers had compliments, moving me to the final round with four 30-minute panel interviews with other PMs, the Chief People Officer, Director of Engineering, and Director of Talent Acquisition. The final round interviews were mostly good, though the Director of Engineering was unresponsive. Again, these focused more on personality and collaboration than my background. The recruiter said I'd hear back by Monday. I mentioned another offer I had expiring soon. The recruiter immediately wanted a call and assured me a decision by Tuesday, even with one interviewer out. Tuesday passed with no word, and when I followed up, she said they needed more days. I reiterated my time constraint, and she assured me a Tuesday response. I suspected they were delaying to reject me. On Friday, they finally informed me they moved forward with other candidates. Thankfully, I had already accepted the other offer.
