      Product Manager Interview

      7 Apr 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus in Apr 2011

      Interview

      The first phone interview with the recruiter was great, he asked relevant questions about my background, it was mostly behavioral. The second phone interview was also really good, it was with a current product manager, and he also asked mainly behavioral and situation question. When I went in for my on site interview, I had a really bad experience: they forgot that I was interviewing and then I had to wait until they could arrange for someone to interview me. When they finally found a product manager to interview me, he was very pompous and aggressive: almost before even asking my name, he declared he liked brain teasers and spent the interview peppering me with irrelevant brain teasers. It seemed like he needed to prove his intelligence -"everyone is really really smart here"- and reaffirm the power dynamic in the interview. The interviewer was very young (had only worked in the industry for a year), and perhaps just insecure on the job, but the whole process was very demeaning, it's like they didn't care I had relevant experience or a personality, and just wanted me to solve math questions. All and all, one of the worst conducted interviews I've experienced...

      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (New York, NY) in May 2015

      Interview

      First, there was 15 minute phone screen (typical screening questions). Then there was a 30 minute call with someone from the team I applied for (basic fit/skill questions). Then a series of on-site interviews with people from the product and engineering groups. Finally, one last call with the head of the group.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppNexus (Ban Som Phone) in May 2014

      Interview

      This happened a little ago... Anyway, I went through the recruiter who arranged for me to chat with one PM. The hour-long interview focused on questions related to Agile methodology, decision-making & communicating priorities with various stakeholders. The interviewer was definitely curious about my current work and responsibilities, and seemed to want find someone who would be able to work in a fast-paced, competitive enterprise software environment, esp. if they are self-starters and passionate about digital media or advertising. The second interview with another PM was actually fairly similar -- also an hour, also really focused on how I thought & made decisions.
