Question 1
Very Specific qs on Experience as a Product Manager
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forcepoint (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
The day I applied online I got a call from recruiter right away. Then I was asked for phone interview 4 days later with hiring manager; it took an hour instead of 30 min as he was interested in my experience. Then He asked me to go onsite a week later. Before onsite, I had to take a Personality and Aptitude test (spend about 30 min total) online. I was told it is not used for selection process. The onsite interview had 4 people, 30 min each, and it was a good experience; again the hiring manager was the last one and he took another 40 min in addition to only 30 min, asking me more questions. Then I waited for a week but was rejected since they wanted someone with more commercial software background and I only had consumer software experience. The recruiter was very nice and I had a great interview but they don't see me as a great fit.
