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.

Behavioral Technical

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.

Behavioral Case Presentation

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.
