monday.com Product Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with an HR interview where they asked about my history and had me introduce myself. Then, there was a product case where I had to design a product for recruiting top talent. Finally, I was asked to address a hypothetical scenario as a PM at company X, where DAU dropped by 3% over 3 days.

The recruiter was great, really communicative and fast. The whole process moved fast, often getting responses the same day or within 24 hours. Everyone was professional and nice. The downside was the take-home assignment, which was way too big and time-consuming for what it was, even for me who's done a lot of them. Feedback was really shallow, not specific or helpful at all. Just generic 'they like you' type stuff. After 10 meetings, I didn't even get an offer. Too many interviews, and some didn't even seem relevant. The product sense and execution interviews felt like a copy of Meta's, which made it feel kind of hostile instead of collaborative.

The process started with a screening phone call, then a product sense whiteboard session, followed by a product execution whiteboard session. After that, there was a homework assignment, a leadership interview, and an HR interview, concluding with recommendations and an offer. Once I got to the homework assignment, the entire thing felt like a mess; the assignment was about one of Monday's core features (Dashboards), which immediately made the interview feel rigged. It's unprofessional in the tech industry to assign a task based on your own product: 1. It implies you weren't capable of doing your job and outsourced it. 2. As an interviewer, you have too much product knowledge to be objective about the outcome. Plus, the assignment was excessively long (see below), overly complicated, and took me several days to finish – I wasn't given any context or the necessary level of detail. When I went to the office to present my work: 1. All the interviewers were about 10 minutes late. 2. Some interviewers didn't even make eye contact during my presentation. 3. They only asked one question during the entire hour-long presentation. It felt like the job was already filled. They took over a week to get back to me and inform me that the role and position I applied for had changed. They then asked me to come in for a leadership interview the same day they contacted me, with no warning and no time to prepare. Only a week later, after *five* interviews total, I found out they decided not to proceed. When I asked for the reason, they didn't give a clear explanation, just vague mumbling without stating the actual cause – I still don't know why I wasn't hired. The recruiter made the whole process incredibly unpleasant for me. She was rude, disrespectful, and lacked the communication skills or knowledge to provide any feedback on my product skills. With 16 years in tech and over 12 years of product experience at major tech companies, I've never encountered anything like this before.
