Screening call with recruiter, interview with hiring manager, complete an 2-3 hour minimum activity to present to the team (~7 people), followed by 3 1:1 team interviews and final interview with VP.
Overall, the recruiter was professional and followed up at each step, providing potential sample questions an what to anticipate.
The hiring manager really could benefit from hiring etiquette and training. One of their first questions (mind you, this was at peak COVID), was why I had an unemployment gap - this is highly insensitive as so many people lost jobs at this time, and few jobs were on the market. Throughout the process it seemed as though the entire team was rather bubbly, but inexperienced or junior. It seems like Poshmark aims to hire younger teams so they can be molded, and I felt the hiring manager was intimidated by anyone who might possess expertise in subject matter other than their own. I very much felt the hiring manager tried to assert their expertise by insisting on certain KPIs to measure, instead of focusing on what could be brought to the team.
Additionally, I was asked to complete a marketing presentation that took a lot of personal time. The shady part? Poshmark insisted I sign an agreement stating they have full rights to the ideas I presented, regardless of whether or not I had an offer extended. This is like free consulting, and they should at least offer a stipend if they're asking people to complete these types of activities for such junior roles.
Due to the hiring manager's lack of sensitivity and quite frankly, professional managerial experience, as well as the free activity for Poshmark, I would rate this a negative experience.
