The Adaptavist Group Product Marketing Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I got through 3 out of 5 steps in this hiring process after applying through a reference: internal recruiter > hiring manager > assignment. The process took roughly 3 weeks. After passing through the hiring manager, I got invited to complete a take home assignment, where I was asked to outline a marketing plan for one of their existing products. Shortly after I submitted it to the recruiter per email, I was notified that they would no longer continue with my application. There was no feedback, context or verbal discussion about my work that I spent a few hours on, to which I requested and was later denied.

First, I had a call with a recruiter. Then, I had a one-hour interview with the hiring manager. The next day, I found out I didn't get the job because they had already hired someone else. They told me the reason was that the other candidate had more relevant experience, but it wasn't very helpful feedback.

Had a total of 6 interviews plus a take-home task. It started with an HR phone interview, then I spoke with the hiring manager. After that, I was given a take-home assignment. Then, there were 3 back-to-back in-person interviews. It was generally a good experience, but the same question, "Why do you want to work here?", kept coming up, and I felt like they were testing me. After the 5th interview, I was told I wasn't a fit for the role, which felt a bit late. Then, I was offered a 6th interview with a different marketing team. During this 40-minute call, I had to answer "Why do you want to work here?" again, even though it had been answered by others. They still had reservations based on my previous experience, which I addressed twice in that 40-minute call. After a wait, I was emailed that they might consider me for future roles in about two months. It's a bit frustrating to go through all that and not be hired, with only a vague possibility of something later. I'd probably turn down any future offer anyway.
