I applied online and was guided by a recruiter through screening and a take-home assignment. After a take-home assignment I was was given an interview-- through the phone with another Associate Product Manager. To keep it brief, the process is somewhat convoluted. After passing the assignment phase, strangely was not given an in-person but another phone call asking even more questions despite the level of work executed clearing. The first screening aspect was good, the assignment means to invite the candidate to go above and beyond the suggested timeline of "3-5 Hours to Complete"-- it was far more a couple of days work. The assignment itself also gave an impression of free research/idea creation for the company. The interview with an existing Product Manager post-assignment lacked any real clarity into fixing the problems it discussed and didn't provide any real information to make decisions-- user data, common operating systems, most common use cases. From return on feedback I'm not quite sure how Pocket Gems is going to capture any talent with so many hoops to jump through. Speaking with colleagues that have gone to become Software Engineers for large tech companies that previously interviewed here (He was given 3 assignments over time), Pocket Gems spends too much time working on theory and not experience.
