LendingTree Product Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The recruiter was nice and respectful. I'm looking for a remote role, but the job requires a hybrid presence. We didn't find a mutual fit, so I stopped the process.

I got referred by a recruiter after doing well in another product interview. Since I already did a recruiter call for a different role, I skipped that and went straight to the hiring manager. We had two 30-minute calls, the first to chat about the job and my background, and the second for my questions and more discussion. Then came the team round: four 30-minute back-to-back calls with different product people. They asked about my experience, product skills, and how I work in a team. I really liked talking to them and felt I'd be a good fit. A week after the team round, I got a verbal offer with good feedback and a promise of a written one in two days. But then, for two weeks, it was just emails saying they were 'working on it.' After that, they stopped responding. My follow-ups were ignored for another two weeks until a different recruiter finally replied. They said they were 'pausing' hiring, even though I'd finished the interviews and had a verbal offer. The job is still up on their site and others, which is wild. It feels like they don't take hiring seriously and just waste people's time. I rearranged my schedule and even took time off for their interviews. It was super disrespectful, and when they said they hoped the experience didn't leave a bad impression, I honestly just laughed.

Started with HR and hiring manager calls, pretty standard stuff about background and behavioral questions. Then met some nice folks in Charlotte. After that, it got weird. A week later, a call with an indirect manager who seemed pretty checked out. Then, more phone calls a week later with C-level execs, short and focused on problem-solving, not my history. Had HR, in-person, and three follow-ups, then silence. Tried reaching out but never heard back about a decision. It's fine if it wasn't a fit or if things changed internally, but not hearing back after putting in so much time was a bummer. Apparently, this might be a one-off mix-up, but it was still annoying.
