Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at OfferUp.
Principal Product Manager
It started with a recruiter phone screen, then a hiring manager phone screen, followed by 4 video interviews. Everyone was super nice and seemed passionate about the work. Weird part was that after the interview they just ghost you if they don’t make an offer.
- Can you share an instance where you leveraged data to address a challenge?
- Describe a situation where you were faced with a difficult tradeoff.
- What elements would you include in a product requirements document for the engineering team?
Product Manager
I had a terrible interview experience with mishandled communication. A recruiter screened me for a product manager role, but it wasn't aligned with my experience. The first screen was with a principal PM who didn't seem to know which role I was interviewing for. She wasn't a native English speaker, and her English skills weren't good enough for an initial screener. When I asked basic questions about her role, she couldn't explain it well and just gave some canned responses.
- Which role are you interviewing for, and did the recruiter inform you about it?
Product Manager
I got referred and after that I had a quick call with the recruiter. Then I had a chat with a Principal PM. Next, I have another phone screen, then a full loop focused on a case study. Lastly, I'll need to present my product strategy to the leadership team.
- What would be your strategy for monetizing Offerup if they were to expand into the SMB market?
