Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso New York Public Library (New York, NY)
Colloquio
I had 4 rounds of interviews, each one had behavioral questions. Nothing really on product sense. Communication was a bit confusing throughout the process, and I really thought I got the offer because they even had a meeting with me about salary.

Interview Process: The process consisted of three standard rounds: a behavioral/experience interview with the hiring manager, a "case" interview with peers, and an in-person/on-site interview. I progressed to the second round.
Feedback on the "Case" Interview: My main issue was that the second-round interview wasn't a true case study. Instead of presenting a hypothetical business problem to work through, it was essentially an extended behavioral question: "Describe a product you worked on that you're proud of and..." with multiple follow-up criteria.
While this format has value, it evaluates whether you've had specific experiences rather than assessing how you can think strategically through complex problems. Since I didn't have a past project that perfectly aligned with all their criteria, I had to choose the closest example, which felt limiting.
I would have preferred a hypothetical scenario where I could demonstrate my problem-solving approach, strategic thinking, and methodology in real-time. This would provide a fairer assessment of my capabilities rather than relying on whether my previous roles happened to include situations matching their specific requirements.

Mixed experience. The interviewer was courteous but the questions sounded like they were from a script. Overall it was a pretty straightforward interview but I wasn't sure what they were looking for.
