Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Weedmaps.
Product Manager
It started with a recruiter phone screen, then a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager. After that, there was a panel with folks from engineering, product, and design. The final stage was a panel with the executive team.
- Why are you interested in working in the cannabis industry?
Principal Product Manager
This was a super quick and communicative interview process. I've been a PM for almost 10 years at big companies, and this was the most thorough and well-thought-out evaluation I've ever had. Weedmaps wasn't even on my radar, but they sold me during the interviews, even while I was interviewing with Google, Amazon, and Facebook. The case study exercise really showed me how much this company invests in its employees and ensures a good fit for both sides. Google and Facebook have similar questions, but you don't get 5 days and your choice of format. They give you surprise hypotheticals in quick 30-60 minute interviews, which limits showing all your skills. You're expected to show technical, analytical, creative, and people skills in a short verbal interview. While Weedmaps does that too, you get more chances. I'm not great at talking numbers in interviews but I'm good at showing data. Getting 5 days to visually show my PM experience for a hypothetical case, chosen by me, was awesome. It let me show how I think and communicate ideas visually. Even though Facebook and Amazon offered me jobs, I chose Weedmaps and am super happy I did. It's been a great experience.
- Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with important people like engineers, other teams, or executives, and how you handled it.
Product Manager
The interview process was pretty smooth overall. The recruiter was super responsive the whole time. It started with a 30-min phone screen with the recruiter, then a 45-min video interview with the VP of Product. After that, there was a 45-min in-person group interview with two Sr. PMs and two Product Designers. There was supposed to be a fourth stage with a product challenge, but I didn't get that far. The team seemed really professional and knew their stuff.
- What is a negative thing a close friend or family member might say about you if they were discussing you when you weren't present?
