several rounds of interviews with the first being 4 hours long. Spoke with individuals in PM roles from different org groups as well as different market sectors within the org I was interviewing for. Last round of interviews was with Directors. The interview process from submittal of resume to the hire was almost 2.5 months long in my case. PM positions rarely open and when they do, resumes are taken the first week or two the req is open. The remainder of the time the req is open is spent interviewing that first two week's submitters and narrowing down the candidates for hire.

The focus of the interviews in my case were geared towards whether the team thought you would bring value to them as well as someone they could closely interact with on a daily basis. The open-ended "tell me about yourself/your background?" was the hardest for me to answer because I didn't know where to start...suggest you keep focused and speak to your star attributes that you know the company can benefit from.

I have been reached out for 2 different PM roles and both times I was ghosted. At this point, I'm only frustrated with their recruiting team and honestly not enthusiastic about working there at all.

Colloquio
I had 3 rounds of interviews. 1 recruiter phone screen, 1 HM, and 1 with a panel of 2 internal team members.
The process was a bit disorganized. After every round, I would wait for about 1.5 weeks to hear back from the recruiter and they also provided me with the wrong information about the interviewers of the 3rd round.
- 1st round with the recruiter was pretty straightforward then it went downhill.
- In the 2nd round, the HM spent 20 minutes rambling about his projects and barely took time screen my background but somehow still passed me to the 3rd round.
- In the 3rd round, the first interviewer left me feeling that they lacked professionalism and attentiveness to my responses. We got stuck on a couple of questions mostly because my background wasn't what the role was looking for so my examples didn't quite fit their context. But they rejected my answers in a disrespectful way rather than pointing out the gap. The 2nd interviewer was way better and we quickly drew a conclusion that we were in different fields in 15mins. And I was expecting a rejection letter from that point. I feel like we could have save the time and energy if the HM did a better job at screening my background.
Total of 5 interviews, all remote. Interviews were appropriate and not duplicative in content. A thorough process that also gave me a good cross-section / insights on the people and personalities.
