Colloquio
I was way underqualified for this role as they required like 80 years of experience but anyway I thought never miss an opportunity so I had a video call with the recruiter who was clearly not a marketing expert otherwise she would have never picked my profile in the first place.
The recruiter was reading her questions clearly given by someone from marketing and she was asking loads of random marketing questions especially focused on the way myself and my company gather customer data and other highly confidential information.
Well, part of my job is Corporate PR so this recruiter definitely picked the wrong person to insist on this matter and I was definitely not happy to be asked that in that way and definitely not happy to share such information with anybody external to my business. Even if I clarified this, the recruiter insisted and at some point, I was even asked very aggressively to pass this information as "fundamental" for them to understand my data gathering process. Also, the recruiter was not even understanding that my company as an in-house process to do so which is obviously not shareable with anybody.
Come on, don't ask stuff like that in the first minutes you get to know your future employees! So unprofessional. I wouldn't really be keen to work on a company that ask these things in a screening interview so I'm sorry for those who continued the hiring process.

An external recruiter reached out to me about this role. The recruiter supported me along the journey.
I started with a HR call, and then had two rounds of interviews - one with a product marketing manager and another with a product manager. Both conversations were long - 1.5 hours or so - and had both a behavioural and hypothetical component.
They gave detailed feedback about why I was not selected.

Haven't felt more uncomfortable during an interview. One of the interviewers stuck on a question, which I am guessing I wasn't replying the way he wanted me to and would not move for 20' out of the total 50' of the interview. When the other interviewer insisted we moved on he made a point of showing he was completely uninterested in anything I had to say from that point on. Similarly, when I got to ask questions at the end of the interview he made a point of showing he'd rather not lose any further time answering them. Honestly, I couldn't not cross them fast enough from my list and would be worried about what the successful candidate is walking into. As someone who has interviewed countless people in my career, it is absolutely fine to know within the first 3 questions if you like someone or not but belittling someone's candidacy like that is appalling.

Applied online answering a few questions they had as part of the app process. Got an email to interview within a few days. Intro video call with recruiter, then they gave me a case and five days to email it back. Case was interesting and pretty fun to see what the role would be like. After submission, they took a few days to review and moved to a video call with the hiring manager. That went well but at that point it was pretty clear I didn’t match all the experience requirements they wanted. Never heard back until I followed up with the recruiter, she said they were split on me but decided I didn’t have all the requirements they wanted.
