I was contacted by the team directly as they were actively hunting product owners. Went to interview with HR and with the CPO. Interview was friendly, still a startup, lots to do, exciting challenges etc. However it felt like product was lacking vision and the definition of the role of the product owner was quite junior, not even owning the relationship with stakeholders. It felt quite clear that it wasn't the right fit for me but the feedback i received was that they wanted someone more hands on (rest skills were not interested in) and if i was willing to only focus on that only, they were keen to keep talking. I fully understand that there may be no role fit,no culture fit, etc but i wouldnt try to recruit senior talent for a junior role. It is not the same working with a team of 20 engineers or working with a team of 5, takes more skills to succeed. I wish Travelperk all the best and looking forward to see how they revolutionize travel.
