First, I spoke with the HR recruiter. After that, I interviewed with the hiring manager and then with each of the team members. Then, I had one final interview with the hiring manager. It was a tough process.

The interview process was typical. We talked about the role, key performance indicators, my past professional experience, and company culture. I also asked about advancement opportunities since I'm interested in career growth. The interview included discussions with 2 levels of management and another manager in the organization.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you share details about your past product management experience and a product you took from initial idea to launch?
  • The interview process was normal. The interview concern is jobs description did not align with role. When discussing the misalignment of interview conversation with actual R&R and opportunity, senior manager started he made no promises during the interview. He had no plan to do what was discussed during the interview. Be careful and ask peers direct question about what the role truly entails.
