Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Wise nel mese di feb 2023
Colloquio
I was interviewed for Senior Product Manager at Wise for a role that is open for over 3 months on LinkedIn. Being interviewed by 2 men is not new to me as a woman, but this time the whole interview felt very unrespectful at all. They see a young woman and act right away in masculine behaviour. I could not express anything of my knowledge in the interview, anything I said was interrupted like I am not really a candidate. The interview was 28 min, when I was told it will be 75 min. 10 min spent on telling me about them, 10 min spent on telling me they don't understand what my current company do, and 8 min they gave me to ask questions. After 20 min only they already decided it is not worth their time, they didn't not ask about my abilities or any product I was involved in, I was not asked about how I deal with Product problems or what methods I use, nothing. They didn't care at all if I had the skills for this job and didn't even give me time to show it. It was the most unprofessional interview I have ever been to. Since the beginning, they acted like they already decided they don't want me. So why bother spending my time if you are not going to give me a fair chance? I don't know if it is because I am a woman or because I am younger than them, but I was treated as if I was someone they want to drive off. their faces, their behaviour, and their questions, I could tell I didn't pass the interview within a few min. Very bad taste for the company

What does your current company do? What does it mean that this is what they do? What X means in terms of your company? Why do you want to leave your company? Why do you think you can be a product manager?
Stage 1 Recruiter / Talent Screen, Stage 2 Hiring Manager + Engineering Lead. Stage 1 was pretty straightforward. Stage 2, half the interview was to talk about a theoretical problem and the second on something I had worked on. the interview felt poorly structured, and the engineer on the call was rude and off putting - poor people skills.
I then received an automated email saying I did not progress, which is fair but candidates deserve actual feedback, not a generic email. You've invested time to speak to me, you should have the time to write candidate feedback - or don't hire!

Ignoring stakeholder alignment what is a complex, technical project you've worked on.
Overall the interview process is quite nice the people are quite nice however, the way they treat candidates is quite bad when you do not succeed or are not shortlisted. They will ghost you, or pretend to have another meeting and cancel the meeting, or make you wait for weeks until they make up their mind.
The company’s vision and culture seems great but the way they treat candidates can be improved.
Interviewer was disengaged. Didn't have a great experience. She also wasn't paying attention to what I said and I kept having to repeat myself. I did not get a follow up interview.
