Had issues submitting my CV initially on their site, but then used an internal referral to nudge the recruiter. Had an interview with a recruiter who was exceptionally considerate. Then got a homework assignment that I spent a lot of time on. Got a good impression from the next Skype interview with a peer. Then moved onto a hiring manager interview. Then finally was flown to HQ in Edinburgh where things got disorganized. They changed the interview schedule at the last minute because someone was out of the office, so the first person I interviewed with seemed to have no knowledge of my resume and had not seen my homework assignment. Even worse, someone was supposed to have told me to do a presentation beforehand, which presumably I would have discussed with the first interviewer. He stumbled through my resume with fairly easy questions. But I never heard about any chance to do a presentation. I got the impression that no one I interviewed with that day (out of 6 people; 1 took me to lunch) had even seen my homework assignment, which put me at a distinct disadvantage from all other candidates who possibly were being judged with that and a presentation to boot. Most--not all--were warm and friendly people, giving me standard questions about my experience and problem solving questions. My biggest complaint when I didn't get an offer was that I had asked SEVERAL times throughout the process, "What role am I applying for?" since it was a vague job listing. I was told *repeatedly*: "We don't hire for specific roles, we just hire good people." That's all well and good if that's true, but ultimately I was told that the reason I didn't get an offer was "You didn't have enough experience for the roles that we were considering you for." The people who objected to me being hired were almost all people who had founded their own companies and Skyscanner had acquired them. Meaning, most of them had no experience working in non-startup tech companies and were CEOs of their own small startups. I felt like they were judging me through that lens, not having had that a startup founder's background--but having a lot of large and small tech company experience instead. I realized how inexperienced some of them were when one interviewer's response to my question about his biggest challenge was about figuring out how to evangelize his ideas throughout the company--which is a pretty standard exercise for anyone in a product manager role who's worked in a large company before. Probably doesn't need to be said, knowing that tech is not known for its diversity, but of the 7 people I interviewed with that day, all of them were white men.

Initial screening call with in-house recruiter. Expected general job and company suitability questions, but was also asked in-depth questions about my technical skills. Didn’t feel like this was fair as the recruiter did not work in Product.
