The interview schedule consisted of a recruiter screen (30 min phone call), project, and then four back to back interviews (2.5 hours) with various team members.
The first round was generic questions regarding background, and then I was moved on to the project. The "project" was explained as being useless data for the company, however, it seemed entirely relevant to the industry and relatively recently collected. Likely, this was an attempt to get free labor on backloaded projects by using candidates in the interview process. But you had to complete it to be considered for the position, so that's where they have you in a bind. After that was submitted, I was moved to the final round to meet with four separate individuals on relevant teams. The first interview was very professional, on time, and seemed like a genuine conversation. Moving forward, it seemed even less so, with interviewers blatantly admitting they were just reading off pre-written questions (obvious without the admission) and asked very little, if anything beyond that. It felt very impersonal and that I was just a person they had to "get it over with" in this process. One interviewer was late, asked me less than 3 questions, and then sent off a "scorecard" before I could even ask any questions or provide much follow-up, rendering the rest of the interview pointless. Most didn't even seem like they read my resume.
At the end of the entire process and being in the "final round" and investing several hours into a two-week process, I wasn't even worth a phone call to let me know what happened with the position - just a template rejection email listing zero specifics about the process and ghosting afterward when I had asked for feedback.
Truly unprofessional and disappointing.

How do you generally prioritize your tasks, given strict deadlines?
2 interviews with 2 people, different each time. On zoom. They ask the same question at each interview so it makes it easy. They were a week apart and then I found out I got the job about a week later.

Colloquio
I had 1 recruiter screener. 1 call with a Group PM. Then I had 1 day with 5 30 minute interviews (An Engineering Manager, an Engineer, a Director of Product, a Group Product Manager, and a Product Marketing Manager. Personally, I had a really great interview process here. The Recruiter was amazingly responsive and helped me when there was a scheduling issue. Most people might find the 5 interviews in 1 day daunting, but I actually preferred it over the prolonged interview process of other companies. The highlight was the chat with the Group Product Manager, which seemed to be a substitute for a take home assignment, where we collaborated on working through a complex problem. My main con comes from the interview with the Director of Product. I would say the questions were hard, but honestly I think they were unrealistic. I was asked to give a specific number for a target market for a product I liked. I'm not great with these numbers on the fly, and typically in interviews these kind of questions are meant to help understand your thought process, even if you don't come to the correct answer. It felt slightly antagonistic and unprofessional how the questions were asked. I'd recommend that recruiting train this leader on his interview skills and review his questions ahead of time. I've talked to multiple other Senior level PMs and they said this line of questioning is unrealistic and unwarranted. But overall, I had a great experience getting to know the team.

We ran an exercise where the Group PM laid out a scenario where you have to create an internal product that helps translate requirements from Insurance Product Managers to Engineers for them to build. It was complex and a great thought exercise.
