A recruiter reached out to schedule a phone interview. The first round which was scheduled was re-scheduled twice as the interviewer was not available.
In the first round, the interviewer seemed to be on a tight schedule and did not ask basic question and jumped right to the questions he had prepared. In the entire interview which lasted 45mins, he kept pushing me to move to the next step without letting me finish my thoughts. I am guessing it was so that he can get through all the questions he had planned to ask within a small time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Pick any industry
2) tell me pain points of the customers in that industry
3) Design a system for the paint points
4) How will you measure success?
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
